How about the gobs and gobs of people who have been fucked over by billionaires?'n'nLet me phrase it this way: do you think Elon Musk is worth *40000* times the value of the median Tesla worker (2019 numbers by the way, he's worth more now)?

Let me phrase it this way: do you think Elon Musk is worth 40000 times the value of the median Tesla worker (2019 numbers by the way, he's worth more now)? Gates? Bezos? Are they really worth more than the value they extract from their employees?
No? Great, we agree — there is no such thing as an ethical billionaire.

Yeah, agreed.
Even America's sweet heart Taylor Swift. She's a billionaire and her groupies wind up paying $1300 to see a show. Then I heard she's writing a book. I mean how much do you need? She could be doing world tours for free, subsidizing ticket prices, I don't know, starting up a competitive company to Ticketmaster.
Elon Musk levels of income could friggin cure diseases or hunger or something or at least make a huge dent. Think about it. If he liquidated his entire net worth and gave up on his Nazi empire building he could use $490B on a good cause and STILL be a billionaire.
There was one guy though. I forgot his name. He signed that pact that Warren Buffett created where those who signed, pledged to give away all or most of there wealth. I think like two did it after they died but this one guy gave it all away while he was (is?) alive.
