This is not a serious comment. CEOs are some of the most accountable and watched people in society. Low level employees (imagine a random adult) is not highly capable or accountable and needs guidance.

Can you acknowledge this gap in your analysis?

CEOs are not accountable at all. Look at Elon Musk. I don't care what the guy stocking shelves at Walmart does, I do care when billionaires interfere with my life in myriad ways, all of which are nefarious. They can cause infinitely more damage than a low level employee and need infinite more scrutiny because of that.
What has Elon done to you? Other than provide more vehicle and internet choices?

Scrutiny and surveillance are not synonyms.

Steal my money, commit the worst securities fraud in history, interfere with my government, promote ultra-right wing racist views… I could go on. He’s truly one of the most heinous people of our time.
