the quidditch metaphor is particularly apt. in the game, while the seekers are chasing the golden snitch (which is mostly separate from the main game), the rest of the players - the chasers and the beaters - are busy trying to score goals by getting the quaffle through the rings at each end of the pitch. and (as we read in the books) since quidditch games can last days or even weeks, catching the snitch doesn’t necessarily guarantee a win as, during that time, the opposing team may have scored enough points to offer the snitch’s 150-point value.
and, while the seekers represent billionaire CEOs like musk, the beaters and seekers scoring goals represent the managers and laborers trying to make a profit.

I literally have no idea what the rules are so any further meaning is purely a happy coincidence for which I can’t take credit.
