If you work harder than the B players and don't get paid more than them, then you are not an A player, you are just a gullible rube who lets other people exploit them. A players may or may not work harder than the B players, but they definitely command more money than them.

Yes you are, if other equally qualified people can make more money working less.

Musk has a cult of personality and there are some people out there with no self-respect who will let themselves be exploited by him. Those people are not A players, though.
In your last point, you reveal your true point: you just don't like him. I don't necessarily do either, but that shouldn't get in the way of a rational discussion.
Weird how you ignore the point where he describes how if you work more than someone else who is also getting paid more than you, then you are getting a bad deal...
And no, when you make hundreds of thousands of $ per year, you're not "exploited".
And yes, quite a few people would love to work for Musk just because he's Musk. Exciting things happen around him.
