Musk and Bezos haven’t made any profit tho, just grown equity. Is that a relevant distinction here?

It's relevant in many cases of many large companies, even profitable ones:

Bezos in particular chooses to actively avoid making profit and hide profits to deliberately avoid paying tax. When Amazon makes a profit they still don't pay tax:

He's not doing it innocently, it's tactical. They lobby to keep the loopholes open. Although its not illegal, it could be considered unethical which I believe is the context of the original discussion.

This kind of sums it up:

He has a lot of power to do more for other humans on this planet and doesn't.
