      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.

      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.
