John D. Rockefeller, while a pioneering figure in the oil industry, engaged in several controversial practices that drew criticism. He employed aggressive tactics to eliminate competition, often through monopolistic practices, such as price undercutting and forming trusts that restricted market access for rivals. Additionally, his company, Standard Oil, was accused of unethical dealings, including bribing officials and manipulating railroads to disadvantage competitors. These actions contributed to a broader public backlash against monopolies and led to the eventual antitrust regulations in the United States.
