An infographic with a dark blue background illustrates income inequality. On the left side, bold text reads: "If you worked 40 hrs/week earning the federal minimum wage ($7.25/hr) and saved everything—no taxes, no deductions, no spending at all—YOU WOULD NEED TO WORK FOR 26.5 MILLION YEARS..." On the right side, the text continues: "...To earn what Elon Musk currently has (~$400 billion)." Below this is an illustration of a worker pushing a giant clock uphill, referencing the myth of Sisyphus. The image conveys the immense, unreachable scale of billionaire wealth compared to minimum wage labor.
