There is nothing a billionaire can do, as an individual, that isn't overshadowed by their giant mountain of wealth. Being hyper-rich is the first, most interesting thing about them.
I think Rowling, Musk and others resent that, want to be seen as visionaries and thinkers.
I've no idea how they'll canonically resolve the Billie thing, but I do know Mike Collins will be drawing that page.
If someone worth a billion can get a law on the books for, say, $250,000 in campaign contributions or legal fees ... that's 1/4000th of their wealth. You may well have spent more than 1/4000th of your wealth on lunch today.
The analogy, I think, is Hollywood budgets. Now that every movie costs $200M the only limit is the imagination of the writer and director. Movies can look *exactly* like they want them to, no compromises, no restraints.
D'OH!!!!!
The urge to go 'I have amazing ideas, and the power to implement them' must become overwhelming. It must break their brains. How could it not?
Again: improve the system for identifying and punishing domestic abusers, you solve a massive number of other problems.
