    Even if it is an impossible creature, the current neoliberal hellscape does treat the billionaire class as utility monsters that must be prioritized up to and including the destruction of everything around them, as if they did receive greater net positives than the rest of society combined from those hoarded resources.

    Further, the "effective altruism" movement claims to be all about maximizing utility and they follow the above ideology quite closely, seeing the further enrichment of the ruling class as not only a net positive but necessary to bring about the robot god of the future that will surely fix everything.

        As much as it is understandable and relatable to crave a better world at the expense of the status quo we have today, I urge you to remember that not only is :melon-musk: part and perpetuator of that status quo (after all, he even tweets about his desire to put highways and cars on Mars!) but he's also so personally inept and incompetent that even if he actually sought to make the world a better place beyond mere marketing hype and boosting his brands, he is staggeringly unqualified to deliver on those promises and would get in the way.
