There are thousands of billionaires and no one does actually do something good or even cool (like free waterparks? Museums? A train fomewhere?) with their wealth. Even elon just bought companies, he's no invetor or even creator.

So boring on top if the obvious grift.

There is a former billionaire in Florida who gave scholarships for everyone in a certain area who graduated. I can't remember his name off the top of my head because he isn't an attention-seeking asshole and I don't see it every week.

Evil is banal - it's become almost banal to repeat it by now. Serial killers are usually just idiots, billionaires are usually just worthless, and by the same coin, anyone worth a damn is usually too smart and nice to actually rid us of evil men.
