Just less evil. There is no way to ethically acquire that amount of money. Most people don’t truly understand how much money $1 billion USD actually is. And the only way to achieve it is to exploit others, make money off of investing in the exploitation, etc.
But that’s not how he got his billions, and he’s not contributing anything back really, he’s just accepting a little less profit than he could. A serial killer with human body part trophies in their basement doesn’t suddenly become a good person if they save a cat from a tree.
Right, and yahoo exploited people to get that money. Are you saying that his work on that site was more of a contribution to society than the entire lifetimes of thousands of tech workers, a few of which probably actually designed and built the site?
Okay but did he personally exploit those people? The people had already been exploited for their billions when Yahoo gave it to him.
Technically you also can’t buy food without exploitation, nor retire. And it’s not even unique to capitalism either, socialism also exploits people for others’ sake, the only thing that changes is the number of beneficiaries.
Really, you can’t have a society without exploitation.
That’s totally disingenuous. The scale is totally different. Removing enough money for tens or hundreds of thousands people to have comfortable lives with maybe a year or two of forcing others to overwork themselves for your vision and then not only hoarding it for the rest of your life, but using it to fund further exploitation by “investing” that money in those exploitative companies to exploit more and more. Comparing that to wanting to survive and being forced to purchase food and shelter using money you spent your entire lifetime overworking for from those exploitative companies is a totally different thing in so, so many ways.
Read his Wikipedia page. I think you’ll come to find he really is a rare good guy. No evidence I see of making his $$ off the backs of slave-wage labor.
If you follow the NBA you’ll know the storied history of the behaviour of staff for the Dallas Mavericks. I’m not saying he’s 100% to blame, but he owned them at the time.
Doesn’t matter. There is no amount of work or contribution to society a single person could perform in a single lifetime that would be worth anywhere near $1 billion. Maybe it was another person or company who did the exploitation itself, but he knowingly profited from that.

i wouldnt call his drug site exploiting at all, look into his past history on wiki.

He made a website that yahoo bought during the dot com boom for $5 billion.
And then hoarded billions for a couple decades?

only for yahoo getting shriveled into nothing after a google exec was a control in 2010s.
