completely disagree. SV billionaires wield enormous power and influence, through their wealth, positions of power, influential personas, companies etc.

there is a very good argument to be made that elon musk pushed the EV industry forward. similarly, i think tech elite can shape society.

another example: look at the enormous influence warren buffett has had on the asset management industry.

i think SV billionaires could definitely make a dent in things like income inequality, if they focused on it
