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.

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.

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?

Elon is the prefect example of how little actual work a CEO does.
What does Elon do all day? Try to be funny 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.
