Look at Bill Gates. He's a complete asshole and was widely hated until he stepped down from Microsoft. But, spend just a small fraction of his fortune on charity, much of it self-serving, and he's now he's widely loved.

If I randomly obtained a billion dollars, let alone hundreds of billions, I'd spend the rest of my life riding a warm-and-fuzzy high. Helping people feels good!

The thing is, you don't become a billionaire if you have empathy. If you're a normal kind of person who likes helping other people, you start giving away your money long before you hit $1B.

He had that aura when he was building Tesla and solar city and the gigafactory. Become a billionaire and fight climate change? Go Elon.

Go to Mars? Bit of a stretch goal, but helping Nasa and science is good. Go Elon.

Save kids trapped underground? Go Elon.

What? Called him a pedophile? Maybe he has some inside knowledge. Anyway.

Shout about doge coin? Bit weird. Ok he's just having fun.

Sell a consumer grade flamethrower? What?

Pay 44bn for Twitter? What? Where's the value? This doesn't save the world.

And down and down.

Working theory is that you don't get to his point by having morals.

Rich people are just celebrities with hoarding tendencies.

Dumping ill gotten gains into charity will not make you beloved down in history so much...

Certainly not " the most beloved"
