If building Amazon, Tesla or spaceX is that easy, where is your company that changed the entire industry? What did you accomplish so far? You may not like the way they comment on social media, but they have tangible results to back up their reputation. Unlike other types of "celebrities", they actually built tangible things that most people would consider good even if they hate the face of the owner (eg. reusable rockets, electric cars, Amazon delivery, AWS, etc.).

I've designed a bunch of medical devices that have done real good in the world. I'm working to design more as we speak. Are rockets and luxury cars more important than medical care?

They did build some companies and they deserve the rewards for doing so. What they didn't do is add so much value to humanity's productivity to justify rewards in the $10^11 range.
