Sounds like typical whining to appease the hivemind by taking cheap shots at "fun to hate" targets as a way to generate clicks.<p>Where the author failed is by not including Musk, too.<p>I especially lost interest when the author added a brief description of what Exxon is: "one of the world’s top oil companies." (When the readership doesn't know what Exxon is, you can imagine what else is in store.)<p>Then, there's this portion:<p>> One more illustration: Mark Zuckerberg. His parents’ fortunate social and economic status afforded him the opportunity to enroll at the prestigious Phillips Exeter Academy, one of the oldest educational institutions in the United States, favored by political and financial elites.<p>How come everyone who attended Phillips Exter Academy isn't a billionaire?<p>Let's look at Oracle's Larry Ellison, the fourth wealthiest person in the US. From Wikipedia:<p>> Ellison was born on August 17, 1944, in New York City to Florence Spellman, an unwed Jewish mother. His biological father was an Italian-American United States Army Air Corps pilot.<p>That doesn't sound like a wealthy upbringing to me. Maybe his dad had some connections, but it doesn't seem like they were better off than most. This is just one example from a cursory search.
