One exists and is wildly useful. The other is self indulgent bullshit to distract from the fact that Tesla is a terrible company that would be bankrupt without the circus act.

It's obscene. Being a billionaire means you are inherently a psychopath.

Does that mean having 999M$ to your name is okay? 500M? 100M? 50M? Where should we draw this line?

"Murderers are bad"

"Wow does that mean assault is okay? Mugging? Where should we draw the line???"

Completely putting aside the ridiculous false equivalency, completely evading the question isn't exactly the gotcha you think it is.

Copy pasting my other comment,

Will any of you actually not dodge the question completely? Do you all even have an answer to it?

His analogy doesn’t hold because no amount of crime is okay. But obviously having some amount of money is okay. His logic will lead us to concluding that we should have no amount of wealth to our name. This is obviously wrong.

You are getting ridiculous answers because your premise is ridiculous. Trying to find a specific number under which it's ok to have that amount of money is ridiculous. It completely misses the point. The issue is that these people could use their obscene amount of money for something good. You don't need to find a limit. It doesn't matter. It's not the point.

When have I ever argued against "the point"? I frankly don’t care what you think of Musk or anyone else and neither do they. My question wasn't implying (intentionally at least) that billionaires are good or whatever.
