In my personal observations I’ve noticed those who complain about @elonmusk being the “richest” person are those who are lazy, don’t want to work, don’t build or create or construct anything, are overcome with jealousy, or think life owes them something because they were born, or have a general lack of understanding in basic economics, or are hindered by Musk & his endeavors in their own quest for power/money, or are brainwashed by influencers/politicians who themselves also suffer from any combination of the above. Did not Musk create his wealth by offering goods/services which others freely chose to buy?
Direct employees across Tesla, SpaceX (incl. Starlink/xAI/X), Neuralink and The Boring Company total roughly 158,500.
Including secondary jobs from suppliers, contractors and induced local spending, a recent analysis using EPI multipliers estimates about 870,000 total jobs supported by end of 2026.
