Elon Musk is questioning how Samantha Power increased her net worth to $30 million on an annual salary of $180,000 as the head of USAID. Democrats like the Clintons and their friends seem to have a knack from growing their net worth on government salaries. Musk says that maybe we should be taking investment advice from them.

A salary of $180,000 in Washington, DC, is insufficient to buy a comfortable, safe home in or near DC because of the high cost of living. It certainly is not enough to account for the ability to amass large personal fortunes without a large amount of income from other sources.

Power's net worth increased from $6.7 million to $30 million during her three years as head of USAID. Friends of Bill Clinton seem to do very well on government salaries.
