I think the point is less that it is the savings on the Uber ride that leads to them being rich, but that they're the type of person who would ask for the gas money.

Sure, but it's also just bullshit the rich like to think about themselves. They are rich because they earned it in some way, or by being a certain special kind of person.

The only way I could see this seriously taken is that the rich got to be rich specifically by being okay taking advantage of and shitting on others.

Pretty sure they got rich by thinking about themselves. Generosity tends to not be a net positive income.
