I don’t understand why so many people just accept the rhetoric of Musk and Gates, so-called “liberal capitalists” (liberal in the modern meaning, not classical liberal).
They made their money through exploiting other people’s labour, that’s the only way you accumulate such capital.
They then go on to donate a vanishingly small amount relatively to recognisable, bleeding-heart-liberal causes and everything they did to get here is forgotten and forgiven.
