Entrepreneurs such as Musk typically keep only about 2% of the value they create for humanity. The other 98% goes to their co-workers, associated businesses, and customers - humanity itself.
Musk becoming a trillionaire means humanity has become vastly wealthier. He's created products at scale that would be unthinkable a decade ago. Satellite internet for remote communities in Namibia.
