All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one. Romans 3:12

You're right. There's no billionaire who has done good. But there's also no human who has done good either.

How about no? Stop deepthroating billionaires, please.

Elon Musk. Without him, electric cars wouldn't be the almost-mainstream thing they are today. We also would be a decade behind on space launch.

JK Rowling donated so much money that she's no longer a billionaire!

Elon Musk

Popularized electric cars, funded the design for re-usable space rockets and gave people on the rural areas aswell as Ukrainian soldiers internet access.

The flood of downvotes now demonstrates how all this is ignored because people hate him nevertheless.

He popularized electric cars while giving his workers horrible working conditions and human rights abuses. I gotta say I like SpaceX, but NASA being underfunded is a problem, because a national space program being dependent on a private company is not good.

Starlink has been good for internet access, the downside is that it'll become part of the space trash problem in some years.

Elon Musk is still a piece of trash.
