You’re making it sound like the wealthy are rich in technicality only. Maybe the majority of their assets aren’t liquid but they’re still damn wealthy more than “on paper.”
And singling out wages as the only source of income to prove Elon isn’t “actually” wealthy is disingenuous at best.
That actually almost seems worse. He is not paying into Social Security or his local community. He is being generously compensated on stock, which is taxed differently.
Edit: I do want to thank you for providing that link. I was only finding a Forbes article about him being the highest compensated CEO of that year.

It’s interesting you assume I’m poor just because I’m not licking those boots.

People here think there is some finite wealth pie, and if you cut a big piece somehow that leaves more for everyone else

What did Elon get paid, excluding stock options at companies he works for?
I bet he still makes more than me.

Borrowing against stock needs to stop yesterday, especially if it’s not specifically for the interests of the company whose stock is being used.
