Justificatinm of worth to the bottom line

Let's just take Musk and Trump for comparison,

Two big egos, one the intellectual and the other....You work it out.

So no, ego is not necessarily an outcome of intellect.

Can you clarify what you mean by "productivity"?

Horse shit, the lot of it. A ludicrous brag from the hieroglyphics guy. What, did you pull it out of Tut's tomb?

I have no jealousy of Musk. If I'm not well-liked, I'm well-loved. Outside of that I'm a top percentile earner for my age bracket. I'm doing all right. Had a lot of fun along the way. I'm happy at work and I'll retire comfortably. Bought a beautiful couch today actually. More comfortable than 100 lbs of gold I bet.

I, unlike you, understand that an economic system must be a system for wealth creation and wealth distribution. If it's failing at either of those, it's not worth a damn and we should scrap it. It is perverse that Musk should take such an enormous slice of the pie while others are left with crumbs or nothing. It is a ludicrous audacity that we have allowed him that he should be demanding an accounting in email of our being worth the crumbs.

You're a pompous old bore. 

Typical reaction of jealousy for not figuring out, yet, the acquisition of personal wealth. I've been buying gold and silver since the 70s, boyo, when you were... what?   Shortly after that, my first house, which I still owned, mortgage-free and rented out until a year ago when it sold for more than 1500% of original value in Silicon Valley, with which I  purchased two rental houses, and paid-off my current house in the Rockies. I've earned my pomposity, boyo. You? By the way, thought you'd sworn off reply to me. Can't keep your own promises? Typical.

I mean being able to not only contribute to individual production of a product or service, but also calculate its worth to the bottom line of your own, or another's enterprise. It means being able to see the worthlessness of another doing that for you: a union rep, for example. Who needs a union rep when. one can do that for themself, because one should know how to do that calculation and send a union rep packing as worthless dross.

How? You're mum on that for some reason. Keep farting on about what you have. I believe you have it. I'm not impressed. I'll have it too in time, but earned.

You studies look like the studies of one left to leisure by a large inheritance. To make nothing of it. Wasteful.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm

Colonies are such, that all parts make a working whole.

Ok...Perhaps we don't need so many parts...But that's a separate issue.

Nonetheless, without a  hierarchy of both intellectual variety and physical ability, nothing would get done, and the system would not function.

And Faux, same as everyone else, would live in a hovel at the mercy of the big bad Wolves.

A South African Elon Musk, proved he is more successful than most Americans.

14 kids to feed.

He needs the money.

How did he find time to make money when he was busy making babies?

Justification of worth to the bottom line.

Ask Fauxlaw.

Does he answer all your questions?

He already answered this particular question.

Good, keep asking him more questions.
