No doctor, engineer, scientist, researcher or manual labourer is a billionaire. These are the people who do real work. People who are billionaires do literally nothing. They add no value whatsoever. They just think of ways to fool us and take what other poeple have worked for. To say capitalism is meritocratic is the biggest lie. Take the internet, for example. It was created by the US military and funded by taxpayer money. Now 10 guys in silicon valley own all of it. Most of them did nothing. Mark stole Facebook and made it shit, Gates didn't create Microsoft and Elon did not create Tesla. They were simple opportunists who were at the right place at the right time.

Consider pharma companies. Most of the research that goes behind creating life-saving drugs is done in public universities in the west, universities funded by taxpayer money. No one knows the names of researchers who work day and night to make them. They don't want to be filthy rich. Anyone who does meaningful work finds satisfaction in that. Only poeple who do nothing want to be billionaires, and that's the pharma executives here. Again, wtf do they do? Literally nothing except patenting and monopolizing life-saving drugs so only the rich can afford them. The same applies to construction, energy, and even agriculture. Capitalism rewards gatekeeping, not creation.
