Musk is set to be a trillionaire. Alex Karp makes a billion, Hock Tan 700 million and Brian Armstrong 680 million. In the USA, the increasingly high divide between the haves and have-nots is fueling anarchistic rage, riots and forced break-ins in elite districts such as Beverly Hills and LA. Is this result understandable? Is there justification to absurdly high amounts of money these CEOs make? Should CEOs who amass such wealth have to provide more for employees? Charities?

In this discussion, we’ll look beyond the headlines to examine the deeper forces at play, how global capitalism rewards innovation, monopoly, and risk-taking, but often at the expense of social stability and fairness. We’ll ask whether extreme wealth is a natural outcome of a free market or a distortion that undermines trust in society. Together, we’ll explore the ethics of CEO pay, the ripple effects of wealth inequality, and what this growing divide means for the future of work, opportunity, and justice.

马斯克有望成为万亿富翁。Alex Karp赚了十亿，Hock Tan赚了7亿，Brian Armstrong赚了6.8亿。在美国，日益加剧的贫富差距正在激发无政府状态的愤怒、骚乱以及像比佛利山庄和洛杉矶等精英区的强行闯入。这种结果是否可以理解？这些CEO赚取的天文数字有其合理性吗？那些积累了如此财富的CEO是否应该为员工提供更多福利？为慈善做出贡献？

在本次讨论中，我们将超越头条新闻，深入探讨全球资本主义如何奖励创新、垄断和冒险精神，但往往以牺牲社会稳定和公平为代价。我们将探讨，极端财富是自由市场的自然结果，还是一种扭曲，破坏了社会信任。我们一起探讨CEO薪酬的伦理、财富不平等的连锁反应，以及日益扩大的差距对未来工作、机会和正义意味着什么。
