    Elon musk has nearly a trillion dollars, but somehow is ceo of like six companies and still has time to fuck up our government and be a public asshole. There’s no way he works as hard in each one of those jobs as I do in mine because he’d have to put in more hours per week than there are available to work those jobs. Salary is not tied to effort in today’s society.

      Elon Musk is the worst. All billionaires are abominations, but he absolutely takes the cake. He’s not just fucking up shit in the USA, he’s going around the world, from country to country, spreading the same hateful message.

      Even if he was not a total public asshole, this alone proves that “being CEO” is something not nearly as hard as advertised and in this case, it has to be a part-time job.

      It never was. Owning things has always paid better than doing things. And even for those drawing a salary, the low-paid have always had to work harder, in worse conditions, than the well-paid. Having done both, that’s been my anecdotal experience too.
