Loosely based on US statistics, the average monthly income is $5,783. Elon Musk earns about $200,000,000 a month. So if money is an expression of worthiness or “how much better you are”, then Elon Musk is about 35,000 times better than the average worker. We love to think that someone earns more because they are smarter, faster or stronger. However, you can't tell me that someone is 35k smarter than the average person. I think it is high time we reevaluate how we distribute income.
