How are they directly related?

Is Bezos, Gates or Musk at fault for high UK house prices ?

No, it's a failing of government policy. Straggling house building for decades, leads directly towards rampant land speculation. (70+% of a houses value is the land...)

Actually, at least in Helsinki part of the rising costs of housing in the centre has been attributed to so called vacation housing, where apartments have been bought by rich people from abroad or rural areas, yet occupied maybe a couple of days/weeks a year, or rented out as an airbnb flat. I'm not saying its a major factor, but still an indicator that theres more than enough money to spend for some people, for them to take out from the 'necessities' pool, just to achieve some form of luxury.

> No, it's a failing of government policy.

And who (or perhaps what socio-economic class) might be responsible for our inability to change these perpetually bad government policies that always seem to preserve this state of rampant inequality?

Bezos, Gates and Musk are a result of failing of government too:
