The pollution from customers shouldn’t be counted, but investments on startups involve real world resources being used.
Blue Origin for example has 11,000 employees yet still depends on Jeff Bezos to keep the lights on. For years it looked a lot like an hobby, let alone all the other even less successful rocket companies.
Also, Billionaires start up companies for their super yacht’s making them technically investments even if they’re only used by the billionaire themselves it makes sense from tax standpoint. When you have that kind of money the line between hobby, investment, and donation get blurry.
