Oh Heinlein was a stanch liberation so yeah he probably would be.

Eh don't feel bad his name is actually Valentine Michael Smith but all his friends just call him Mike and most of the book he is referred to as Mike or Michael.

Yeah, that's the one. If I remember the overall tone, it would be in character for him to see the collection of wealth as a response to some childhood harm that it would be better for Elon to overcome, so he could be free of its binding influence. Not that his being a billionaire was bad, but him having a compulsion to hoard wealth is harmful for his well-being.
