    The problem is that the theft begins by simply becoming a billionaire in the first place.

    That’s why that was my first sentence!

      The problem is that billionaires should not exist but come on.

      Was your first point. I expanded on it by calling out that it is specifically theft and then going further to illustrate that he was using that theft to make personal choices about how that money should be spent, compounding the reasons I find this distasteful.

      Forgiving it simply because it’s philanthropy plays exactly into their narrative. Don’t buy it! Don’t defend billionaires to any extent.
