I think your views on this will radically differ if you earn 200k a year versus 2k a year.

Which is maddening. Too many people lack class consciousness.
An engineer making 200k a year has more in common with someone making 2k a year, than they do with the Elon Musk's of the world.
This delusion is rampant in professional spheres like medicine and tech.

No they don't. Only someone making 200k could say that.
If you make 200k a year, you're not even in the top tax bracket of the US. On 200k alone you can hardly even afford a SFH in SV, NOVA, and NYC.
Meanwhile Elon Musk's net worth can swing 200+ million in a single day. He could buy up an entire neighborhood in those same zip codes you'd hardly be able to break into.
So how are you "closer" to Elon Musk exactly?
