This is elite class war, it’s turning the low income against the high income to the benefit of the wealthy and elite. Software engineers are no doubt better off than the vast majority of people, top 3% easily when looking at income but most of them are still “wage slaves” and their luck can turn. Pitting us all against each other is the goal.

The goal is to make silicon valley engineers part of the downtrodden proletariat. Lots of jobs used to be high paying until they weren't.

Someone making $1m a year would need to work 7,400 years in order to be worth as much as this dude. Silicon Valley engineers are certainly well off but they are in nowhere near the same class as the kinds of people who are worth $7.48B.
