> people like Bill Gates and his contemporaries like Elon Musk only show why people should never be allowed to own billions
You picked the guy who’s curing malaria and the one who kickstarted the modern electric vehicle and rocket industries. Yes, they’re flawed. But all humans are, especially the ambitious. I’m struggling to imagine an alternate system where e.g. they’re in better form as elected representatives.

You may struggle to imagine an alternate system but others don't. Billionaires should not exist. Relying on billionaires to do good is ludicrous.
Tesla was founded by others, Elon bought Tesla.
Rocket industries are not good for the environment or our future. We can do mostly without them. Maybe to keep GPS up and running but that's it.
