Until the day someone becomes a billionaire off of an idea to truly better humanity, like a cure for cancer, aids

If they were good then they would give it away and not become a billionaire

Torvalds is probably the closest example we have to revolutionary betterment today and he’s not a billionaire

Yeah, Torvalds is a great guy, i love that he hasn't become complacent and enshitified Linux

I've seen optimistic estimates that Linus makes ~$10 million per year from Red Hat stock. Even if that were true, it would take 100 years for him to be a billionaire. Can we focus on the actual billionaires before coming for him?

No one was coming for him

I was using him as an example of a good person
