When those “cool things” are made through exploitation (and they are), being ok with it makes you a deplorable shithead.
These are not things worth the human costs associated.

Who is being exploited and how?

The workers who are worked to the bone, while the profit goes to the shareholders. Don’t pretend to not know how terrible Amazon treats its labor.

There are more employers in most towns than just Amazon; everyone who works there thinks it's a better option for them than the other jobs available to them.
The workers are also free to become shareholders; Amazon is of course publicly traded.

When you’re done licking Bezo’s boots, go talk to those people you think are “free to become shareholders” (when they live paycheck to paycheck) or free to work elsewhere (when amazon or walmart have shut down the shops that used to be on Main St.).
If Musk had stopped when he had enough, I won't be able to take weekend vacations to orbital hotels in my lifetime.
Enough money to live comfortably is just one goal; building cool things is another orthogonal one.
