The worst of what Billy ever did was cause some people to lose their will to live by destroying their life's work (like pulling wings off a fly) with bullshit marketing, investment and employment strategies; he's been doing a Carnegie ever since to make up for it all.

How ironic is it that Musk is helping to destroy what Carnegie helped build? What could Musk possibly do to make amends for being the public face of an effort likely to kill millions of America's elderly before it gets sorted? (Because people over a certain age don't do well when they don't get their daily Meals on Wheels, or the social interaction that goes with it, or when their housing subsidy forces them to move from familiar surroundings beyond an age when they can adjust or if they're stuck in a for-profit nursing home that suddenly loses its regulators. Changes like these have to be made so they only impact future generations unless there is an instant emergency and even then, every precaution has to be taken or manslaughter will occur as Andrew "people die" Cuomo found out in NY during the Pandemic.)
