> This sounds like this group is just taking billionaires' money while running a death trap.

What if people pay for that exactly because it's risky and potentially fatal?

I mean, if you accept that what you're doing is inherently unethical and immoral (I made a death trap but I'll let you pay to ride in it anyway instead of fixing it because you like danger and I like money!), then there's really no limit to the kind of terrible things you can put out into the world. But most of us would stop and reconsider what we're doing.
