who could take over the role of billionaires without abusing their position of power?

The billionaires abuse their power. The problem of an abusive manager being totally solved is an irrational height to set the bar at.

Why are billionaires not acceptable if abusive managers are acceptable?

[โ€“] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

Billionaires already represent societal detriments by the very nature of the absurd concentration of wealth into the hands of an individual.

Also billionaires tend not to personally manage things, which may be to save time for doing more abuse (see Elon)
