Not really. However I hate Musk (trust me I do), Tesla still makes cars, SpaceX still launches satellites, and Starlink still provides internet. These things benefit society. However Bezos treats his employees, Amazon sells and delivers goods, runs twitch, makes TV shows, … These are benefits to society that Musk and Bezos helped with. Does it make it ok to mistreat workers? Absolutely not. Does it make it ok to evade/“optimize” taxes? Absolutely not. Capitalism NEEDS TO BE REGULATED. We have seen unregulated capitalism fail just as hard as pure communism. But that does not mean that they deserve nothing. That they can’t have villas and sports cars for helping create these companies that benefit others.

If they are not needed, then go do it. Surely you can make a cheaper and better versions of Amazon and Tesla without paying billions to people like Musk and Bezos… Or maybe you can make something entirely new.

But you are now admitting they did something you can’t do. Surely you can do it, if they did nothing.

Well, if what they can do is not necessary, go make the bloody company? Are you a goldfish unable to remember more then one reply back?

It literally does. If I can do something and in the same environment, you can’t, something about me is necessary. Sure, maybe I am not the only one in the world who can do it, but I obviously contribute.
