If you look at MOST American billionaires today, they essentially become that way with government help.
May that be government subsidies, massive government contracts, government protectionism... Musk, Gates, Buffet, Soros, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Bourla... All of them have one hand in a government cookie jar.
Government (in some form) has become the primary way billionaires get crowned in America.
True...
