That is an absolutely disgusting attitude.
True innovators carry all of humanity on their backs, and give massively to all of humanity, present and future.
The fact that they get some monetary compensation doesn't entitle you to not be grateful and to not recognize their heroism.
It does not entitle you to imply, as you have, that they deserve the same level of praise as any person who is paid for any work whatsoever.
You are, by implication, equating Elon Musk to the teenager flipping burgers, or any other menial laboror.
That is moral treason.
Without innovators, we would all be dying in pestilence-ridden Stone Age villages. In my opinion, those who claim that innovators do not deserve the highest of possible praise _deserve_ that fate.
