You can be an incredible entrepreneur(or anything really) and a terrible human being. Please remember this before idolising people outright solely because of their achievements.

Yep.
Examples:
"The International Jew" - Henry Ford, BFF with Adolf Hitler.
Musk "Roman Salutes" more-or-less prove he wasn't able to overcome South Africa's apartheid hate ideology.
Hans Reiser - convicted murderer
Kip Macy & Nicole Macy - landlords from hell
Martin Shkreli - (no introduction necessary)
Impact and moral reputation/integrity are mostly orthogonal properties. It's the responsibility of decent people to rightly boycott crooks, warmongers, pedophiles, and ethno-nationalist suprematists. When this corrective moderation breaks-down, society is in deep shit.
