It's so telling that billionaires are acting as though being a billionaire is an actual part of their identity, like saying they shouldn't have billions of dollars is comparable to saying actual people shouldn't exist. Wealth identity politics is peak capitalism.
The billionaire class has already proven with its actions that it cannot exist without actively working to manipulate governments in a way that undeniably subverts democracy and the will of the people. The debate over whether or not billionaires should exist is long settled.
A few million dollars will buy you a nice car, a nice house and some nice clothes. A few billion dollars will buy you the ability to control public narratives using media ownership, lobbyists and think tanks, thereby manipulating entire governments. Billionaires should not exist.
Believing that it makes sense to have an elite class which controls this much wealth and power is exactly as stupid as believing it makes sense to have a total monarchy. Billionaires should not exist.
Cue the gallant white knights riding in to defend the poor defenseless billionaire class from the mean bully on Twitter.
