Yup. 100%. People have been saying for decades that being a CEO (often expanded out to CxOs, too) is like being some kind of super-star athlete and that people in those positions get paid many many many multiples of the average wage of employees they oversee because they are just operating next level and work so fucking hard and so many hours, too.

Virtually every time Elon hits the news we are all reminded in quite stark terms what complete bullshit that narrative was.
