    Don’t feel like you’re taking the content how is meant to be read.

    A million is a lot but a billion is an order of magnitude more. You think they worked an order of magnitude more?

      Income has never correlated with effort. People are paid based on supply and demand.

      Also not to defend the scumbag that is Musk but like many billionaires, a lot of his wealth is based on “what people think” - specifically, what people think of his companies and how much they are willing to part with for its shares.
