Genuine question. I was listening to shit about Facebook and made me think how much damage Harvard has done to the world just from that alone.

Nothing that couldn't have been done better by public institutions had they had the same funding. Most of the big research they get to claim is because they already have shit tons of money to buy the best newest equipment and pay for 10+ postdocs per lab. Even then they don't actually pay the grad students or postdocs (who do all the research labor) all that different compared to public universities.
yeah I was going to say plenty of hard science has come out of them but you're exactly right. They also get to choose from the very best of applicants due to their reputation & exclusivity, but that also isn't inherent to the ivy league as private institutions.
