Many people say this. However of those who talk the talk, barely any ever walk the walk.
However I think if you are born an heir to a billionaire, you'd lack the perspective which might foster selfless philanthropy.
I'd like to think that if someone from the working class would randomly get such money they would. But it still seems unlikely.
self preservation isn't a selfless motive, but if it results in philanthropy then that's a win.
Exactly! If billionaires were put in a a position where they need to stop being billionaires and distribute their wealth or else people will kill them, they'd distribute their wealth real fucking fast
I would assume most of Elon Musk’s kids are not a fan of Billionaires.
Really one only ever heard his one daughter speak out against him, since she's been a frequent target for his anti-trans bullshit.
I haven't heard any of the other kids speak up against him on any topic.
Also, he has a lot of kids now... money tied up over inheritance squabbles and civil cases getting redistributed to lawyers and court systems. I imagine more kids will come out of the woodwork too claiming a piece of the inheritance pie
I feel like that depends too. There's a ton of working class that dream of somehow becoming billionaires which is why they don't want to tax them.
They're certainly not all fans.
