>> You believe the modern wealthy are somehow more moral than the historical wealthy? When did this happen?

I believe Buffett and Gates and even Musk obtained their wealth legally. As did Jobs and Ellison. Zuckerberg, all those guys.

That doesn't mean I like all the things they've done.

While Musk is extremely good at getting money from taxpayers, you need people like him. But you also need people who can say, "No," to corporate welfare. Just because you're building electric cars, you should not have your product subsidized.
