You know I think the thing is with some billionaires, they don't have to be useful for society to become a billionaire, they don't have to be moral, that don't even have to be smart.
Often they just have to be "charismatic", better at lying, better at cheating, less moral, etc.
WeWork was never a good business, seems like he was just a massive narcissist who managed to trick the SoftBank guy (notorious for investing from the gut) into giving him billions.
So if we have a system that rewards ruthlessness, dishonesty, cheating, stealing etc, that's what we get at the top.
