If there was social retribution, if shitty behaviour turned away customers, Amazon would not exist. Musk did everything to be hated by everyone and, surprise, he's still the richest man on Earth. Trump was reelected.

The retribution powerful people fear is only marginal.

It doesn't have to be true, maybe. It shouldn't be true, for sure. But it is, and always was, for as long as we have historical sources.
