I think we need to accept that humans are complicated and can have orthogonal traits: you can be a good business man (not a people manager, though!) and an fascist asshole at the same time. You can be very clever but a mean person. But you can‘t be an asshole and a good father. Qed.

Not sure what you define as good business but all I see is businesses that be in trouble if the cult celebrity, subsidies disappeared, or appropriate regulation were applied.
