Sounds like he just didn't have any morals, just cared about the money.

Which I don't think is any better than being a Nazi, but could be worse

Yeah, no morals

No, Nazis are way fucking worse

Now, no morals and only caring about money would take you the same path Nazis took if it was found profitable. Just look at what the megacorps are doing - absolutely anything they can to squeeze couple more pennies without caring of the consequences to human life, as long as they're not financially penalized for it.

No, it's the same monsters different motivation

A successful businessman seeks to enrich himself and his investors by satiafying market demands.

A nazi seeks to enrich himself by murdering and taking from others, by exploiting and torturing others to the maximum effect of cruelty.

It would be like comparing Bill Gates to Elon Musk.

Bill Gates is not the great example you thought he'd be.

It's not even many years ago when he himself said he's willing to sacrifice any amount of lives necessary to squeeze the profits out of COVID vaccine patents

The Bill and Melinda Gates foundation saved and enriched millions of lives across Africa. The Gates foundation also walkef back their opposition to making the vaccine patent free and open, their original excuse was that it could lead to loss of quality control.

Say what you want about the tenets of national socialism dude; at least it's an ethos...
