I think Musk used to have altruism in his head when he was trying to get things like Tesla batteries and stuff like that going.
But I do think that the type of money these people bring in just begins to dissociate them from real life, and they start to hang around each other and the a**holerly just starts to compound on itself as they all realize that they are essentially world kings that can do whatever they want and start to see things like manipulating stock markets and seeing if they can make whole companies sink or swim just by the virtue of who they are the same way we look at a game of Monopoly. There's literally no pathway in their brain telling them that they are affecting real people en-masse. That pathway was severed by literally everyone they come into contact with worshiping at their feet.
The best thing about this whole Twitter thing is to see one of them spiral in real time. The worst thing is that 100's of billions of dollars that could have been used for something good is just gone.
