Their goal of getting more money might not be rational, I just meant they act with a kind of logic that’s in accordance with that goal. Burning down the planet is the perfect example, they don’t care if it doesn’t impact them, but they can earn more money and have that as a side effect.
Musk is saying shit like “the Earth will judge them” when someone asks him how he’s going to make sure his business earns money. This is another level of deranged and disconnected from reality in my view at least.
Agreed. We’re in agreement. Your first paragraph is basically describing the addiction model. I think we’d be well served to replace the word “billionaire” with “money addict”. If you replace money with literally any other object, cats, newspapers, canned food, youd say these folks had a hoarding disorder. Hoarding money like this is a massive red flag for deep mental illness. Add in these behaviors and what you have are deeply mentally disturbed humans with comorbid addiction problems.
I think your analogy is missing how much power money buys. Musk is hoarding power, the money is the easiest way to get power especially if you’re born rich.
Guys that talk this much are megalomaniacs, not just money hoarders.
