I don't know if I fully accept the article's premise. Those who take big risks should get big rewards should they succeed.
However, it is amusing see the left turn from cheerleading all the evil billionaires who run all the services they use, to now suddenly hating the idea that a single tech company might be owned and run by a billionaire. Who do they think created/owns/runs Facebook/Google/Microsoft/WaPo/etc? Even the businesses started by "poor" college kids out of their garage were still funded, and therefore effectively owned, by billionaires, and those poor college kids are mostly themselves billionaires now, if not multi-millionaires.
I can't tell if they're literally this stupid, or if it's some sort of subtle gas-lighting play.

It's just that Musk's finances have been saved by the US government (Tesla was close to bankruptcy). Also, Musk seems to be untouchable in the sense that if I were to do what he has done, I would go to prison for years.
