> It's debatable if it's evil. But it's certainly lacking ambition and boring.

He's the richest man on earth - who started one of the biggest and most successful companies on the planet, I'd say he had plenty of ambition. Excuse him for having a little fun. "He could do this, that and the other thing." Well thank you for telling him what he should/could do with his money. You know what, why don't you go start a company with a 1.8T market cap, and you can do all these noble things. All you need is some ambition to do something less boring, right?

If he has the money to do something that won't hurt anyone, then it is justified IMO. I'm not rich, and I can't fathom what it's like to be a billionaire, but I can tell you what I don't like: people sticking their nose in my private business and deciding what is morally correct for me.
