It's essentially the techno libertarian dream - build a profitable business that makes the world a better place. Unfortunately, profit and making the world a better place are pretty diametrically opposed given that profit is the centralisation of power and most social ills are caused by power imbalances. The error libertarians have always made is thinking that the problem of concentration of power is solely an issue with the government and not an inherent issue with markets.
