I understand the sentiment (really I do), however, eventually you'll run out of people to tax.
Elon Musk only paid taxes because he had stock options that were going to expire. Otherwise he just doesn't sell shares thus not triggering a taxable event and not paying taxes.
If you hate billionaires, then stop buying any goods off Amazon or from any other billionaire owned company. My guess is your quality of life will drop precipitously.

Given we now have 2,500 billionaires how can they not manage to come up with new ideas that create companies any faster than that?
The reality is most billion dollar companies are made through mergers to reduce market competition not actually creating new things.
Their successful companies (the employees) and the government, policies, and environment around them are the things that make them successful.
Billionaires mostly hoard assets. Important assets that you need (not want, need) to live.
Of course, they did the exact opposite with prop 13 many decades ago, creating a land owning class with disproportionately low tax rates.
In California, if you make or do something valuable, you have to pay increasing proportions of the rewards to the government. But the longer you (and your ancestors) simply own land and do nothing, the lower your tax rate.
