Nobody is worth that much.
Mostly we paid for his wealth with govt contracts.
And he has to hire H1B employees because I suspect he doesnt think he is making enough!!

(22,304 posts)Most of the appeal to work for Elon was the stock options which were sweet early. His companies hire out of college, dump by 30. Only a few work long term. There are whole companies basically built of ex-Musk employees that found greener pasture and more sane work hours and benefits elsewhere.

History tells us this will not end well.

Over time they needed more and more and as they did new categories of sub-humans were added to be zeroed out. They took everything these people had Everything.

(18,562 posts)$22,977.69 an hour you said. Times that by 24, it equals $551,464.56 a day. Times that by 7, and that equals $3,860,251.92 a week. Times that by 52, and that equals $200,733,099.84 a year.
Unless you did a typo (you did forget the comma). Maybe you meant $229,777.69 a year? Let me see...
Nope. Even that amount is only $2,007,337,899.84 a year. Chump change for Elon.
