Not sure you understand how companies work. When they sell something. It doesn’t go into the pocket of Elon. It does into the funds of the company. For every Tesla sold. Elon receives zero dollars.
Elon owns zero factories. Same with bezos. Neither own any of those items.
Zero dollar goes to either one. I’m starting to see why you make the rants you make. You don’t understand shareholders or companies well.
If I buy ten teslas. Elon received zero dollars. If I spend a million dollars at Amazon bezos receives zero dollars.
Again, you're getting hung up on literal cash. Cash is not the only form of wealth. And the rich get their wealth from these companies. Sometimes it is literal cash, but most often it is in the form of stocks.
And the wealth these companies earn disproportionately goes to the rich, the stock holders, upper management, etc.
The rich own the companies that own the production. I know you're more intelligent than this.
Again, you're getting hung up on the distinction between cash, stock, and wealth.
You mean the employee. Pension funds. 401k. I get stock as part of my job.
Also you are confusing earnings with dividends. The two are not the same. Earning go the company. They don’t go to the list you created. Earnings only go to the company.
You mean facts and logic. The differences are important. It’s why you struggle with these topics because it’s all magic and unicorns. You don’t get why Elon is wealthy or how he became wealthy. You just want to feel he took your money but you never bought a Tesla. It’s strange thinking.
I thought you were self employed? You must be one of those gay black men with trans friends.
I have side jobs that I do but I’m a w2 for main income. Part of my package is stock
