" For the tech overlords of Silicon Valley, an 'entrepreneur' is someone innovative and savvy, who 'moves fast and breaks things.' The entrepreneur alone creates his company’s exorbitant wealth — not his workers, nor any taxpayers who may fund the innovations his company sells. (Elon Musk, for example, has received nearly $5 million in government subsidies). It’s a very useful concept for billionaires: after all, why redistribute that wealth, through taxes or higher wages, to those who didn’t create it?"

How can it be that someone feels entitled to be abusive towards the very people who make his dreams happen. Maybe it's in the language.
