(2) They are not aiming to convey facts - which we’ve known for several decades, like the wealthy have all of the um, ah, wealth - and rather to convey an emotional punchline. So just one sentence phrase, without any compound portions.
(3) I do not know about this source in particular but in general all news media is owned by oligarchs, and presumably the author felt that a story talking about the top 0.1% would not be published, so they misrepresented the situation in order to make it more tolerable. This serves the oligarchy by redirecting anger away from billionaires that you will never see, to the local millionaires in <insert your local area name here>, or even to Taylor Swift that you will see in entertainment. Meanwhile, people like The Musk still control the outcome of the Russian vs. Ukrainian genocidal war… but sure, show a picture of Taylor Swift as if that is remotely comparable as the literal “face of this issue”.
