Writer Anand Giridharadas on tech's billionaires: "Are they even on the same team as us?"

Many of those billions were made by tech founders, including Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk, whose companies have soared in value and, in tandem, their net worth. Giridharadas's message at the time was largely that the generosity of the global elite is somewhat laughable -- that many of the same players who say they want to help society are creating its most intractable problems. Think, for example of Bezos, whose company paid zero in federal tax in 2017 and 2018 and who is now on the cusp of opening a tuition-free preschool for underserved children called the Bezos Academy.
