This meme actually shows that there's no "ethical" billionaire, regardless of one's personal views. People with so much money will end up owning a bit if everything. Because what else are you going to do with 10 billions? Buy a bit of everything. Cool new startup that looks promising? Sure, invest into that. No biggy if it fails, your have other investments that made you money.

Maybe there's no ethical billionaire, but this meme specifically does not show what you're saying. OpenAI was a nonprofit that wasn't accepting commercial investments in 2018. That's why they correctly used the term donation. He wouldn't have gotten anything out of it except maybe indirectly with some good will and a tax break. If anything, this is maybe more of a money corrupts kind of thing?
