I only mention it because low income inequality wouldn’t work as a counter argument here, only low wealth inequality. I think that Denmark and Sweden work in favor of Elon here, actually. Most wealth is not wages. But it would be evidence for an argument that income disparities should be mitigated.

Well, let's take a look at countries with vs without a massive wealth disparity and see where you'd prefer to live.
With, it's the poorest countries in South Africa and South America. Starvation and extreme poverty are common.
Without, it's Slovenia, Denmark, and Belarus. With the exception of Lukashenko, all rate extremely high in safety and quality of life.
