He could make his own platform, but the users matter. With users, there is influence. In old times, you used to buy the news paper company to get influence.

No absolutely not. Id even say that you wont find more than a handful of billionaires who havent built their wealth on exploitation.

Its such a massive amount of wealth to have, it is virtually always precluded by harming others. The only exceptions I can think of are company founders who got exceedingly lucky, and even then you could definitely stretch the definition of exploitation to include them too.
