why do we (society) obsess over and often hate tech billionaires but don’t bat an eye at music billionaires (taylor swift, jay Z), sports billionaires (magic johnson, lebron), or entertainment billionaires (george lucas, tyler perry)?

Tech disrupts industries which creates disagreements which in turn affects public perception Entertainment driven wealth doesn’t necessarily disrupt orthogonal industries (<celebrity> isn’t disrupting real estate with their investments in real estate) resulting in fewer disagreements and thus lesser conflict
