> irrelevant to a level of stupidity

Is that ever?

I am not saying Gates is a monster. So I am not commenting on him. I am commenting on your logic of doing supposed good and hence they becoming good.

When you look at the history of most colonial monsters you will notice is an often repeated trend. Those despicable monster amassing wealth literally on the bodies of natives and then going back home (including some to USA) and buying a "good name" (sometimes literally in the form of those fancy titles and peerages etc).

Oh by the way, Musk and Ellison from your example are benign non-beings compared to pretty much all those "monsters".

I don't know where you are from or where you are now but a lot of world sees "good deeds of good people" with great suspicion.
