> If they just said: Elon makes $200 MILLION dollars a year, then the point would still be just as valid, and it wouldn't be a lie. Obviously it would a lie to claim that somebody who doubled their net worth to >$200bn last year having earned all that fortune in quarter of a century, and who earned a $23bn performance bonus last quarter earns "only" $200m a year. Whereas the $120bn appreciation in the value of Musk's assets the website highlighted might be unrepresentative of his typical annual earnings, it actually is how much he earned last year, unlike the much smaller number you made up.
