"If you're making $300k a year, you have more in common with someone making minimum wage than you do with Elon [Musk, the founder of Tesla and other corporations]. There are people that walk among us that have so much wealth, that even generations of mismanagement can't squander it. These folks you speak of are not those folks."
thats more of a selection bias because the people that ever get paid that much and work for it have been hand picked by the ultra rich themselves usually. some of them are good at putting on a face for work of course
