If work becomes that family you have no need for one outside of it

If an average CEO cut his pay in HALF and paid it out to his workers I would suspect that most would see less that a $10 annual raise.... So where is the benifit?

It wouldn’t necessarily have to be distributed like that

Ok, then how?

Becasue that income represents a HUGE investment on behalf of the CEO

and would equal basically nothing to his workers

(or hers)

:p

If Elon Musk were to give away 20 billion he would atill have 2 billion. Tesla/SpaceX has 50,0000 people so each employee (assuming even distribution) would get $400,000 each

lol

most of that exists in the form of stock options

Which are valued at current market price

The fact he was able to buy that much to begin with is a concern

what?

If he had 2 Billion he would not be investing in things like civillian space travel and electric cars... So which is better for the world?

he created those companies, he gave away large portions of the stock

"gave away" = SOLD

to investors and via public trading

So to start with this stock was worthless, but then he made it worth something and now he should give it up

He put in MASSIVE amounts of work that frankly next to no one else would/could do. and nopw you want to punish him for it? that is patently insane. You want to promote MORE people wo do that kind of work

Not punish everyone who does

Bu-but its not communism tho

just remember that

I don’t think you guys can fathom how much $1 billion actually is

I really can....

Ah yes the "more money than they need" arguement

And You need to understand that it's not yours. THe person with that money earned it

It wasn’t just him. He had a team of 50,000 people

The amount of money someone is able to obtain through voluntary market exchange is proportional to the amount of value they have added to society.

ANd you honestly believe any of those 50,000 people did anything without his mopney/investment/work? Or would have done any of it?

That is the liberalist mindset yes

Labour is just one factor of production, and the least important.

There are more than one ways to think about a corporate culture

and least skilled

Want more from the world? offer more to the world

I don’t think you understand how capitalism was supposed to work

musk took a risk and put 100 million into the company

Don't call me a liberalist. I'm not a commie.

You don’t need to provide value, you simply need to make a prifit
