You're not questioning it. You're objecting to it. If you were actually questioning, you would have engaged with the fact that stories about hubris justly punished have been a staple of moral education for literal millennia.

But you're only objecting to it when it's somebody you like. When it's poor people, you're fine with trumpeting your imagined moral superiority. But when it's a famous rich guy, you're out here doing free PR on his behalf. You did not "go build something" then, and you're unable to even reflect on your blatant double standard.

You have no standing to moralize at me. And just to be clear, what I feel for you is not spite, but contempt, because you're not only a hypocrite, but you're using what might be otherwise valid moral points to derail discussion of one of the world's biggest jerks. Motes and beams, buddy.
