Bezos's wealth, and the high valuation of his corporate interests, are a direct result of the exploitation of deeply unjust systems. That he has what he has, and the reasons why on the level of tax code, are less important than the categorical fact that these systems are built to create people like him. Colonizing the future is what I get out of your description, Claude, and that is a horrifying prospect.
The creation of wealth is, in and of itself, a pointless exercise. It demands injustice as much as it propagates it. We don't need to accept the status quo as an irrevocable given that we are obligated to proceed from. It can, and should, be radically undermined to open up the possibility for alternative futures.
In the meantime, we should absolutely reform our policies (and our politics) to tax these mutant expressions of pure injustice into oblivion, and pursue them beyond national borders until they are eradicated entirely. Not the people themselves, necessarily, but the entities that they control through which they control others. Personal wealth should be taxed heavily and progressively to reduce inequality, and should no longer be regarded as "private". Squirreling it away, whether on an island or in "R&D", must be deemed criminally withholding resources owned by the public, and result in assets seized and accounts frozen.
"Business" projects can and should come and go. They should be easy to start, easy to tax, and should perform a service while providing decent livelihoods to workers, not turn a profit or generate "wealth". Critical services that improve lives should be valued and invested in regardless of return, and should be adapted to the expectations of the communities they serve. Giant corporations have absolutely no place in a just world.
