I think people have two problems with understanding it:
1) They have NO number sense.
Example:
If you make $50k/yr, it'll take you 20 yrs to GROSS $1M.
At that rate, it'll take you 20 THOUSAND YEARS (about twice the distance into the future as we are from the last ice age) to GROSS $1G (a billion dollars).
Musk et al. increased their wealth--on paper--by BILLIONS just during the pandemic.
NO COMPARISON.
2) They actually think they'll get a huge magical gift of billions and they'll use THAT to reap all the benefits which current billionaires have set up for them.
RIIIIIIIIGHT!
