You tell that to his delivery drivers who can’t even scratch their nose while driving or that 1984-dystopia-esque automated surveillance system he puts in their vehicles flags it as “distracted driving” and punishes them.
Oh and they don’t even make enough to raise a family.
Not to defend the ultra-rich, but even most CEOs of small, shitty companies will not consider their employees’ well-being for one second if they they can the line go up for another half milimeter. It’s not helpful to consider just the most extreme cases like Bezos as “bad” and the low-tier ones as “not quite as bad”.
Because them saying they’re “worth” that is just mental gymnastics to make themselves feel better about abusing the position of power to leech as much money from as many people as possible for themselves.
Elon is the prefect example of how little actual work a CEO does.
CEO of SpaceX - Elon Musk
Chairman and CTO of Twitter - Elon Musk
CEO of Telsa - Elon Musk
President of Musk Foundation - Elon Musk
CEO of xAI - Elon Musk
What does Elon do all day? Be a piece of a shit on Twitter. If CEO work was so demanding, there would be no way Elon would be the CEO of three different companies, chairman of the Board and CTO of one company, and a president of a “charitable” organization.
Reporting by The New York Times found that in 2022, the Musk Foundation gave away $230 million less than the minimum required by law to maintain tax-deductible status, and that in 2021 and 2022 over half the foundation’s funds went to causes connected to Musk, his family, or his businesses.
There is absolutely no amount of hard work that deserves that much money, absolutely none. You could run a marathon every single day for 50 years and I still wouldn’t say you deserved that much money.

They don’t need to make enough money to raise a family… they don’t get enough time off to do so in the first place.

Those fucking people man…
Tell me again how these CEOs with multi-million golden parachutes were worth that if they’re bailing from a company they failed?
