Not really, the article mentions the monthly amount, so they compared it to a monthly amount from someone who makes less money per year. A yearly salary is what most people in the work force in the US are used to talking about when referencing income, which is why they used that instead of monthly income. It also contrasts the dramatic difference in income between the average worker and someone who makes many times more in a single month than the average person does in an entire year.
In an in-depth critical analysis, sure, not a pithy tweet.
I can accept that it wasn’t an intentional attempt at driving clicks through casual misinterpretation, though unlikely. But it’s not an effective way to convey information to swap scales when trying to make comparisons. If you wanted to make that kind of comparison, you’d do it separately. At least if you were trying to convey a cogent point.
It’s a tweet not a thesis statement. It isn’t difficult to understand what they’re saying without needing them to send it in to an editor to make sure it meets academic standards of conveying info.
