Greedy actions (unless they are dumb) always benefit the people making them, you can complain to god if you want but that is realistically unchangeable. I am talking about benefiting society in addition to the person making them. That is what “also” means. Yes, actions can benefit more than one person, what a concept.
Not really. However I hate Musk (trust me I do), Tesla still makes cars, SpaceX still launches satellites, and Starlink still provides internet. These things benefit society. However Bezos treats his employees, Amazon sells and delivers goods, runs twitch, makes TV shows, … These are benefits to society that Musk and Bezos helped with. Does it make it ok to mistreat workers? Absolutely not. Does it make it ok to evade/“optimize” taxes? Absolutely not. Capitalism NEEDS TO BE REGULATED. We have seen unregulated capitalism fail just as hard as pure communism. But that does not mean that they deserve nothing. That they can’t have villas and sports cars for helping create these companies that benefit others.
Why are Musk or Bezos needed for any of those things? How did they help in specific? Did they design the cars or the rockets? Did they create the products on Amazon or the algorithms?
If they are not needed, then go do it. Surely you can make a cheaper and better versions of Amazon and Tesla without paying billions to people like Musk and Bezos… Or maybe you can make something entirely new.

Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk have not benefited society. They have drained from it.

“You can’t do what they did, therefore no one can” is spurious reasoning.
But you are now admitting they did something you can’t do. Surely you can do it, if they did nothing.
Ear wigglers also do something I can’t do. That doesn’t mean they’re a benefit to society.
Well, if what they can do is not necessary, go make the bloody company? Are you a goldfish unable to remember more then one reply back?
