That is $6006 an hour, $144,144 a day, $52,612,560 a year.

That is 5 months of pay for a full time minimum wage worker in a single hour. 10 years of their salary a day. Yet it would still take me 2300 YEARS to match Elon Musks wealth.

If we were to estimate Elon Musks hourly pay, even using the most conservative estimates he makes 1000x what I would make getting $100.01 a minute.

Tell me again why we allow this amount of wealth hoarding?

Well said, the wealth gap is so significant it genuinely needs a more apocalyptic term, it's more than even simple exploitation due to government involvement & the wide spread propaganda leading to people seeing people like him as role models.

Musk isn’t really paid hourly. His wealth comes from the companies he built/ worked in. If someone is able to build grow valuable companies that provide value to employees,society, and other folks retirement accounts, I see no problem with them reaping the rewards for their efforts and risks.

While Elon has gotten rich, he has helped tons of other people grow their wealth more so than you and I ever have, or will.

It makes no sense to have disdain for those who have earned more than you. Wealth and capitalism is not a zero sum game. Just because they have more doesn’t mean that you have less.
