MZ is pretty poor example of a person who worked for his billions, especially when we consider that FB turned access to our innermost selves into trillions of dollars, most of the time through trickery (see the terms of service of most of those companies - does Instagram still own their users' pictures?)Mark Zuckerberg is worth Billions because he created trillions in new wealth.
Capitalism is exploitative; the guy at the top gets a cut of everyone else's productivity. In my view (and in light of current events), labor doesn't need capital as much as capital needs labor because all capital does is to multiply the value of labor. Without it, the mechanic would be building tricycle engines instead of jet engines, but he would still be building something.
What would the owner of capital do if, one day, all workers and skilled folks were like " **** your money. what I can earn in 8-10 hours of work with my two hands is good enough for me to thrive"?
The capitalist would make them believe that they HAVE to grow and borrow from him because "greed is good" and we would have the America of the last 40 years.
