if you have money in the bank, then according to your logic you are “exerting power”

Yeah, I kind of do. If the bank I deposit my money at, gives loans out to weapons companies, then the money that gts made by war pays my interest. However: I don’t really have a choice if I want to survive after having retired. Also: if you look at wealth distribution, then the comparison gets more and more ridiculous.

if you say that you divide people on working and not, then Elon Musk fits working category.

Good thing that’s not what I’m doing. The “working class” is the set of people who have nothing to sell, but their labour to survive. Here’s a great channel which explains why this distinction is important

Just because he does not have to work, but he still does, speaks only positively about him.

Tha only tracks if A) work is inherently good, or B) the work he’s doing is actually beneficial (considered that he actually works). I don’t agree with both (or ever all three) points.
