Why Did Naval Say Wealth Fits a Healthy Planet?

On Accountability Means Letting People Hate on You, Naval Ravikant rejects the idea that wealth creation is at odds with an environmentally safe planet. He calls the zero-sum version of that story false, and says Elon Musk is not playing a zero-sum game with the environment. The word he borrows from environmentalists is sustainability. A for-profit business is at least financially sustainable, and a B Corp can carry a dual mission. Many nonprofit efforts, he says, would be better as companies, because they would not have to beg for grants. Some founders reach a philanthropic aim by running the business and then deciding what to do with the winnings.
