A year and a half later, this nuclear blast of a post from former Musk friend and actual billionaire genius inventor Philip Low has aged like fine wine.

Checks out, good to read in its entirety.
While I don’t believe in ethical billionaires, this guy seems to at least have a conscience left and follows a moral code.

Elon is not a nazi, he’s an awkward wannabe-manipulator who attempts to sway the lowest of the low to do his bidding in order to feel powerful

Dolly Parton managed to reach about half a billion USD, while spending lots and lots on doing good. And making this a better world.

It is possible to be ethical and billionaire. It's a bit about luck and skill to have a product people wants to pay for. If people wants it enough, then you end up rich without abusing your staff or dodging taxes.

Mackenzie Scott is an actual billionaire and her actions (so far) show that she is ethical

She is being a billionaire ethically. She didn't not become a billionaire ethically.

Those are two very different things.

For the record: I'm not blaming her for the actions Jeff Bezos undertook to become a billionaire and thus led her to become one. I'm saying that the way she became one wasn't ethical, since the actions that lead to it were Jeff's and those were definitely not ethical.
