In the fantasy organization where means justify ends, the 10x-er's time is
better spent making the 1x-er obsolete. Your lip service to the 1x-er however
does not go unappreciated as keeping him on and making him feel more
productive is instrumental for political advancement, which is more important
for your fortunes than the technical kind.

What an incredibly cynical view of the world. Teams where people collaborate are more successful, if you think trying to make your colleagues obsolete is time "better spent", I honestly feel sorry for your co-workers. Yes, if I sat and just wrote code all day I would get a lot done. But, if I help my colleagues too, we all get lots more done.
