OTOH concentration of capital makes companies like Tesla and SpaceX possible. It also makes large, self-sustaining charities possible.

It’s a convenience for rich people to find their own ventures, but it’s not the only way for ventures to be funded. If the wealth was distributed among thousands more then those folks would still be looking to invest it, many in EV or space tech, and some might just pool their money into venture capital coops that perform the same function as individual rich folks etc. (allowing individual entities to be pitched to instead of each of thousands of investors.)
