Why are Musk or Bezos needed for any of those things? How did they help in specific? Did they design the cars or the rockets? Did they create the products on Amazon or the algorithms?
If they are not needed, then go do it. Surely you can make a cheaper and better versions of Amazon and Tesla without paying billions to people like Musk and Bezos… Or maybe you can make something entirely new.
Again, because it doesn’t seem to be clear to you yet, just because I personally cannot start a rival to Amazon or Tesla does not mean that they are necessary.
It literally does. If I can do something and in the same environment, you can’t, something about me is necessary. Sure, maybe I am not the only one in the world who can do it, but I obviously contribute.
The “necessary” thing of theirs is their money. If you took them out of the equation and kept the money and not worry about making more profits than last year every year, that necessity wouldn’t be there.
Jeff Bezos did not invent eCommers. Elon Musk did not invent the rocket or the electric car. They are not scientists, they are investors.
So yeah, I don’t have money to invest because, unlike Bezos, I didn’t work on Wall Street for years before funding an e-commerce site and unlike Elon Musk, I didn’t start a company with money from my father who owned an emerald mine.
Money like that is only necessary in a flawed capitalist system. And the result is the exploitation of workers for low pay, shoddy products and, in the case of Tesla, shocking racism and sexual harassment.

“You can’t do what they did, therefore no one can” is spurious reasoning.
But you are now admitting they did something you can’t do. Surely you can do it, if they did nothing.
Ear wigglers also do something I can’t do. That doesn’t mean they’re a benefit to society.
Well, if what they can do is not necessary, go make the bloody company? Are you a goldfish unable to remember more then one reply back?

I guess Elon was necessary to create a culture that fosters racism and sexual harassment though. If that’s what you mean.
