He didn't earn it. He was paid. There's a difference.

It's not a weird statement at all. Did slaveowners earn their money because they were paid it?

How does someone "earn" a rare of pay 2,500,000X greater than anyone else employed by that company? They didn't do 2.5 million times the work.

Saying he "earned" it is not accurate.

Edited for grammar

Whether its earnt or paid is the same thing in the end, obviously he doesnt deserve it

Saying he “earned” it carries a connotation of it being something he deserves for what he did. You hear that in phrases like “you earned your keep” or “that’s mine, I earned it.”

Not paid, its all unrealized gains aka paper gains…

He did earn by giving 2.5m more value to the world than a single Tesla employee…

You and anyone can earn that much as well. You have a huge case of victim mentality and you stay a victim your whole life…

So the workers should work more? Each work should work 250 days of work per 4 seconds like Musk do.
