There is a certain irony in you describing what billionaires have done but govt has not as "moon shots". You really have no proof that the govt could not have done these things, especially as govts has funded a lot of technology which has benefitted industry enormously (DARPANET, GPS, essential parts of Wi-fi). Could you please account for all of the negatives that billionaires have caused and show us your arithmetic for how they come out as net positive. >Since antiquity, the advantages and disadvantages of monarchy, oligarchy and democracy have been mooted. No idea what this means to be honest.
