    It's fun to play with the numbers though I think these kind of things always rely on the fallacy of scarcity.

    Elon Musk's wealth affects me in no way. He didn't get money by stealing from me, he got money by creating things. Likewise we all can create things regardless of Elon Musk. If I have a small farm I can feed my family regardless of the economy and regardless of how much money other people have. Wealth is not a limited resource, it's created through creativity and labor which are infinite.

    Though being a wagie, someone who works a wage for someone else is ultimately a losing prospect.
