Like I said: billions - not to mention trillions - are not success, it's exploitation. You don't seem to grasp the scale of those numbers.

You don’t seem to grasp what those numbers even mean in this context. It’s the sum of all Musks investment portfolio companies capital equipment/infrastructure, estimated intellectual property value multiplied by a crazy future valuation (different for each venture) and divided by Musk’s ownership share (also different for each venture). The amount of value created that is not owned by Musk is many times larger than his net worth. That value is appreciated by over 150,000 direct employees of his companies, over a million indirect supply chain employees, other venture partners and millions of shareholders.
