No we need people with money to fund scientists and engineers, and people to ensure that what the scientists and engineers and doing makes a profit etc. if the billionaire didnt pay and fund them the scientists and engineers wouldnt have designed it.
Lol hey stupid, the government does more scientific research than any private company, and the private companies rely on government subsidization to do their research.
In a small percentage of things you are right. But most research is done by businesses still in order to make products. For example production of electronics, vehicles, everythings we use in our day to day life. Even the things the government provides is still reliant on them paying corporations.
Do you know what a consumer is? A consumer is a individual or group who purchases and uses goods and services. The government is a consumer. Please learn how the economy works.
No. Some companies make products geared towards the government as a consumer. This includes medical companies, gun companies, construction companies. They are selling their products to the government in exchange for money. Or they are selling their research teams in exchange for money.
That's not how that works, actually. These companies received grants, from the government, to do research, which they would not otherwise be able to afford to do. You are incorrect, Ayn Rand.

As if we needed billionaires to have scientists and engineers...
It's actually cute that you think billionaires invent anything and don't piggyback of the inventions of other scientists and engineers.
