Sure. But that doesn’t mean you can’t compare musk to Rockefeller or use him as a benchmark.
Using someone as a known benchmark doesn’t mean they were good or bad, just that they’re an established quantity. Rockefeller was wealthy beyond normal levels of wealth. It makes sense to use him as a comparison.
Totally agree. But that’s the corporate sponsored capitalism that the US has voted for.
Karl Marx predicted that free-market competition would inevitably result in monopolies and the concentration of massive productive forces under a single capitalist.
a benchmark in what way? you should just not be able to be that rich. he isn’t a benchmark, he didn’t work for his own money.
I’ve just compared Musk to Rockefeller. He’s a benchmark whether you like it or not.

No capitalist does. Even people earning interest on their 401k.
This much wealth concentrated into one person is very wrong. Wealth leads to power and no one person should have that much power.
