Bill Gates is still kickin'. There are credible independent estimates that his funding has saved tens of millions of lives that would've been lost to malaria, AIDS, and other diseases.
Effective altruism and other New Age garbage pseudo philosophy can't hold a candle to that.
I'm conflicted on this one. Famously, Tesla's main revenue source for ages was selling green credits to other car makers. Presumably, if not for Tesla, these car makers would have had to do something else.
The way I see it, he converted his cars' greenness into other people's fumes. So not a net win after all.
