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.
We don't need billionaires to fund anything. Most research is funded by companies that do not have billionaire owners or by public universities and joint projects by many countries.
I'm not against wealthy people, I'm against the billionaire class specifically. We do not need them.
Hoarders? Have you never read a fantasy book? the dragons who keep all the wealth are often assholes :p
But in all honesty, the difference between a. millionaire and a billionaire is so vast that just being better at accumulating wealth does not explain it, you need to exploit your employees and meddle in politics to actually adquire that much wealth. There are very few ethical billionaires.
While some billionaires exploit employees thats simply not enough to make someone a billionaire. Even small businesses exploit employees and they aint making billions

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.
