I feel like the title needs to be clarified -- the premise of this article is that they also found people with 25-50m who were causing corruption. So it should be called "Some Multi Milloinaires are corrupt too!" Doesn't mean that billoinaires aren't, because billoinaires obvious couldn't care less about your local car dealerships, they'd be operating at a much higher level (e.g. preventing the import of cars from China, forcing their nonsense stocks into your retirement account, being president).

People who are not a billionaire or millionaire are corrupt too. So boring the kids are still complaining about people who have more money than them.

>Barrels of newspaper ink have, for instance, been spilled over the political influence of Elon Musk, who may soon become the world’s first trillionaire. Far fewer have been dedicated to explaining why most American states ban or severely limit carmakers, including Tesla, from selling vehicles directly to customers. This is a terrible example. Musk has changed the laws in 15 states to exempt Tesla specifically from these bans.
