You vastly undercount the role of luck in Elon’s success and the success of others with billions. There is luck in where you are born. There is luck in terms of who you parents are and how your brain happened to respond to whatever i outs they gave you. There is luck all along the way and due to the idiotic system the U.S. has some will accumulate vast wealth whilst others have virtually nothing.
Most people, the billions of extremely poor in the world, don’t really have a choice.

Less if his selling all of Tesla leads to the share price dropping, which sounds plausible, so say $15-25. Not per month, it's a one-time transfer. If you want to even consider that kind of thing, pick someone with enough money to make it worthwhile. Say, transfer all of the assets owned by people in the richest big country. That's an easily defined set of of "rich people" and more money than just a few days' earnings for very poor people. If you want to consider that kind of thing.
