If being a billionaire is inherently deplorable, why are you defending one?

Because out of all billionaires in today's world he gives more back to society than almost any of them.

Yeah he gives so much back, like the time he was lobbying against lifting the patent on covid vaccines at the height of the pandemic so developing countries can afford them because he invested in vaccine companies.

How does that boot taste tho?
