> They were equal partners with Woz doing far more of the work

What counts as "the work" and what doesn't such that Jobs did much less of it than Woz?

> People that become billionaires do not care about making things right or fair.

I don't even consider myself, or anyone else, to even be capable of making things right or fair or even knowing what would be "right" and "fair". This is not a remotely simple thing and there is not even a widely agreed upon definition of it. I see no evidence that billionaires care any more or less about this than any other person. And I fundamentally distrust anyone who claims this as a motivation. Mostly those people are just using the word "fair" as a stand in for their personal preferences as to how things should be.

> The early days of tesla/spacex he sold the idea that "you'll change the world!" to undercut the salary of his employees.

Employees in the early days of Tesla made out like bandits on their options, so I find this to be a very strange objection. It's the same tradeoff any engineer at an early stage company makes.
