> They made their money through exploiting other people’s labour, that’s the only way you accumulate such capital.
Is that true? Maybe, but I guess it hinges on your definition of "exploit". I think you can make money (in theory, of any amount) without exploiting people.
> They then go on to donate a vanishingly small amount
Haven't they both pledged to donate 99% in their lifetimes? Plus you could argue the companies themselves (where at least Musk's wealth is mostly locked up) are helpful. At least Tesla.
