Stalin manipulated the culture of his time (rising Marxism/Leninism) to gain massive wealth and power. So did Musk and Bezos (entrenched corrupted capitalism)

Did any of them "earn " It? No, they were just clever and cultivated the right connections

The pretense that someone could possibly "earn" $billions is ****.



earn


verb

obtain (money) in return for labor or services

Someone please explain to me what value the oligarchs provide that is legitimately worth hundreds of $billions.
