    The people that are billionaires aren’t inherently evil.

    oh yes, many are

    I would just like to note Mark Suckerberg as an example

    literally made his fortune by making a platform where you can post pictures of other people against their will to rate their appearance which obviously causes bullying and such


    Or Musk who threatened to slash social security with a chainsaw on stage.

      The musk example happened after he got fame and wealth.

      The Suckerberg example probably stems from his environment encouraging objectification at that time, thus making the platform very popular.

      I would call the early idea of Facebook morally questionable but not evil in itself

        i don’t see how that matters

        oh and then there’s the whole social media pushing rage and misinformation thing. add that to the list.

          Musk wouldn’t really have been this evil without wealth and power. Without it he would probably have been a common “weirdo” because of his abusive father but not a danger to minorities in general
