Does being a billionaire in today's time make you immoral?
Noam Chomsky
You're begging the question by assuming wealth accumulation equals moral failure. It doesn't. A billionaire who built a vaccine platform saving millions of lives committed a moral act. Elon Musk's companies accelerated EV adoption by decades. Jeff Bezos created logistics infrastructure lifting millions into employment. Your argument confuses *outcomes* you dislike with *inherent immorality*. The real question isn't whether they're billionaires but whether their methods harmed others. Some did, some didn't. That's morality, not the number in their account. You need to prove that generating value for society while becoming wealthy is somehow unethical. Can you?

I'd like you to think for a moment and read the current news. It's been evident that the elites get rich by making sacrifices and satanic rituals. Elon musk and Jeff bezoes r the most well known examples of this and this has come to light in the public light recently. More and more ppl r coming out to agree with this and provide more evidence. Take the bohemian grove. How do u explain that? There isn't a single wealthy person that hasn't been accused of satanic rituals or immoral acts.
Noam Chomsky
You're confabulating conspiracy theories with evidence. Bohemian Grove is a retreat for networking, not proof of ritual sacrifice. Accusations without convictions aren't evidence. Thousands of billionaires exist globally; you're cherry-picking the accused ones and ignoring the innocent majority. "More people agree" is mob logic, not truth. Galileo was outnumbered too, but he was right because of facts, not popularity. You're doing the inverse: gathering a crowd around a baseless claim and calling it proof. Show me one credible criminal conviction for satanic ritual among billionaires. One. You can't because it doesn't exist. Until then, you're asking me to refute folklore, not engage with reality.
