That's the problem with all (tech) billionaires they think they are god's gift simply because they were lucky by being at the right place, right time and a privileged background. They do not deserve more respect than anyone else and as we're seeing with Musk are ultimately very dangerous people because of their wealth. Being a billionaire is morally and ethically wrong. > He's clearly got a head for business, but exhibited endless greed. > He then turned to philanthropy, ever desperate to be an amazing > person.
