I find his response about $400k paid people and marx a bit odd. More money going to the people actually doing the work vs. the top would certainly be right up Marx ally.

I assume that guy is among those who views everyone earning above average at any time as part of the problem.

It's funny. Although the modern inequality discourse takes some spiritual influence from Marx's concern about capital's profits, its actual focus seems to be much more on wage disparities between different kinds of workers.

And yes, some workers earning significantly above average are literally, mechanically, the problem of income inequality. Return on capital is mostly not income; taxing unrealized gains is a fringe idea. In the current moment, worker vs. worker inequality (including worker vs. manager) is much more salient than worker vs. owner. Even if you think of yourself as aligned with Marx.
