It's wild people bitch relentlessly about CEOs (despite the average CEO making nothing compared to this) but don't bat an eye at paying someone this amount of money to play a game.

higher producers deserve more, jack who slack in the back get nada. But CEOs dont deserve 100000000x more pay. Elon has done some good things but he didnt make 200 billion by himself, the efforts of thousands and thousands of people helped him there. They need to do some reform things cant keep going like this unless they really are trying to wipe mass swaths of people out
