Billionaire-founded companies like Tesla and SpaceX actually sped up EV adoption and space travel way faster than government alone could've. Their tech advances made solar and batteries cheaper than coal, which is pretty huge.

Honestly, billionaires aren't necessary for innovation - open source and mid-sized companies innovate just fine. Most just inherit wealth and buy competition anyway.

the way everyone acts like billionaires are necessary for innovation when they literally just hoard the work their employees actually did and call it progress lmao

I used to hate on billionaires till my dad's startup got bought by one who actually funded game-changing R&D. Wealth inequality still sucks, but denying their impact on innovation is just dishonest.
