He's evil with billionaire PR and he actually wants to be thought well of. Don't be fooled.
There can also be flawed but not evil billionaires.
What if the actual crimes are even worse? What about the impacts of his company, his all-consuming brand? How many people have been killed as a result of the business practices that one HAS to employ in order to acquire that absurd level of wealth?
The real danger with billionaires isn't them directly. They're usually not so bloodthirsty as to directly kill people. That's bad for the bottom line. But the simple fact is that getting to that point in the first place necessitates some fucked up shit happening, and at best donating all of his wealth may even the scales.
