Yeah, because jobs and innovation have only ever been produced indirectly as a result of capitalism. The point isn't to create jobs, the point isn't to innovate, the point is to make as much profit as possible. If capitalists can make profits without innovating or creating jobs, they're happy to do it.
Also, labor is what creates that profit in the first place. Capital is mixed with labor to create more capital. People like musk and all of the other oligarchs can only have their wealth as a result of exploitation of the labor of the working class.
