Dude is the richest person in the world. Penny pinching and denying his former employees their due when he rapidly raises his wealth is outright evil. Well, I guess there is a reason why no good human ever accumulates hundreds of billion dollars. If you are good, your conscience will force you to use your wealth to make other's lives better and you will lose your big B tag.

That's exactly how you get wealthy. Screw anyone you can, threaten them with eternal lawsuits, and you can get a huge discount on labour and other costs. Trump was famous for pulling the same shit.

It's not even just accumulating and giving that money away due to conscience. Nobody with a conscience could do what it takes to accumulated that large sum of wealth in the first place. You have to stomp on people and actively hurt the people around you.

Totally drinking the Gospel of Wealth Kool aid. You grind as much money as possible doing evil shit and then give a bunch of money away when you're old so people remember you well and you get to direct the world through philanthropy. Carnegie 101
