I like to explain the difference like this:

If you earned one million dollars a year (after tax, all expenses, etc) and spent none of it how long would it take you to earn a billion dollars? A thousand years.

If Musk gave away a million dollars a day, how long would it take him to give away a trillion dollars? Three thousand years.

Then point out that's assuming they don't make any more money during that time.
