"If Elon Musk is one of the richest men in the world and draws roughly a minimum wage salary, is salary really that valuable to building personal wealth?"

These rich boys take out loans at 0, or 1%, and take their pay from that.

I still don't know quite how the tax dodge works? It makes sence. You get a loan, and that is not taxed, and eventually pay it back at a low interest rate. I thought corporate expenditures were scrutinized a bit more though?

If you own stock that goes up 10% per year, and you take out a 5% loan against it, the appreciation in the stock more than covers the interest on the loan, so why would you ever pay it off?
