The only problem is that with your merger $200,000 job you’d have to work for 5,000 years at that wage without spending a single penny before you’d reach even one billion dollars. To be e billionaire now would make your start date 3000 BC which would be around the time the Sumeruan writing system was first used.
Now, it gets worse. If you want to make Elons 46 billion dollar package you’d have to start working your full time $200,000 job 230,000 years ago. This would be the prehistoric stone age so finding a $200,000 a year job would be difficult. Even more difficult would be staying alive while working full time for 230,000 years while you earn the amount Elon wants handed to him.
I think the reason people think having a billion dollars is OK is because they can’t do math and don’t understand the ludicrously in that amount of money.
You absolutely can. Whether you think it’s “fucking dumb and doesn’t work” doesn’t change the fact that you can tax wealth and you were wrong.
I don’t expect you to admit it though. Admitting you’re wrong on the internet is the worst thing you can do apart from apologize to someone you wronged.
That’s like the average salary in IT, why bother? I wouldn’t even think about becoming a CEO of a company like Tesla without a package worth hundreds of millions.
Hard disagree. I personally hate high level managerial roles and avoid them like a plague. Too much stress, too much responsibility and you essentially have to work 24/7. I’d rather turn off my work phone at 17:00 and go about my own life than earn more money.
I’d stay motivated for 1/100th of that.
Hell, pay me $200,000 a year and I’ll be plenty motivated.

If I were Grand Poobah, I’d throw the rich a bone and say any wealth over $10 million is taxed at 99%.
No one needs $10 million, but let them have their precious Lamborghinis.
You can’t tax wealth.
You absolutely can.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wealth_tax
One of the first paragraphs states that by 2017 only 5 countries have wealth tax. Because it’s fucking dumb and doesn’t work.
Your words:

Lol ook.

CEO is a lot less work.
