I think "rich" isn't even the issue. It's when the rich use their rich to twist reality and bend laws to suit them, while taking more than can be justified while telling the poor they are the problem. I have never had an issue with a person who works at the company they started/are at who puts in an honest day and reaps rewards. What I take issue with is the rich who change local/state/federal law to allow them to exploit average people for financial gain/political power. I also take issue with the rich who decide because they "own" something, they should receive all proceed, despite putting in no work/labor themselves. If you are a professional vacationer who complains about lack of profit/cost of labor, but don't actually work a full week at the company, your complaints will fall on deaf ears.
Elon is the perfect example. He somehow has time to run a govt agency, also lead a space transport company, and an EV company that also does battery and solar solutions, also a company that makes dumb products for tech bros, and at the same time be rank 1 in the US for a video game. But gets pissy when a judge doesn't think he deserves a payout of an additional $56 billion, with a b dollars for his "work" at Tesla.
