Musk is an example of someone who has money and isn't scared to risk it or use it. The added bonus is he uses it not just to make himself richer, but to make the world more advanced.

Another example of this would be a Kosch Brothers. They also have money and are not scared to risk it and while many of their companies do make interesting products and advancements their main focus is just to enrich themselves.

On one hand you have a guy spending billions to create really fucking cool shit, on the other hand you have 2 guys spending billions to try and pay less taxes while making some useful things..

I kinda wonder how far the koch bros could push their empire if they stopped spending so much money on political BS and just focused on making cool shit.
