Why are modern day billionaires narcissistic sociopaths?

The tech guys have been radicalized online with weird theories and con artists like Yarvin.

Tech guys think they’re so smart but they fall for a cults and conmen pretty easily.

Because they are socially inept/emotionally low IQ people. Their brains have overdeveloped in one area and under developed in other areas.

Who cares what their motives are. What really matters is what will the rest of us do about it? We need to tax them until they become mere millionaires. No individual should have that much wealth/power because it is inherently a threat to all other life on earth.

The Bezos Sánchez wedding was the biggest reminder of how awful these people are. This video captures it well,

Now most people get rich by pushing paper around like hedge funds or fraud. No sense of purpose besides more money and attention.

This.

They've always been that way, and actually they all donate to various charitable causes. Except Trump, but he's not the usual sort of rich entrepreneur. He's in his own category.

I've come to believe this is the only solution. Democracy and society suffers if one person is wealthy enough to move an election.

You act like you have a right to other people's private property. You don't.

It's a global economy and money goes where it's treated well.

There was previously more social pressure to "help the poor" in a paternalistic way, and philanthropy has always been a method they use to launder their public image and shield themselves from proper taxation. Nothing has really changed. Social media just gives us more access to these people and how they think and behave is more public.

All truth, no filler.

'philanthropy' as a concept is an indicator of mental illness. "You're beneath me, but I can help poor you" is a pathetic way to treat another person. If these billionaires genuinely cared about others they wouldn't be billionaires. There is no ethical way to accumulate that kind of money.

And none of these rich AHs "helping the poor" have done so to their own detriment. When they give to the point it hurts them, I'll care.

All of the above. These mega-rich people are rich, because they are narcissists who are willing to do things other people won't with no care for the consequences/effects on other people. They are the richest and the worst people.

Ha. Where do you think they got their money? Elon would have nothing but his inheritance if not for government money. That money is OURS.

Trump made his money running one con after another and threatening people who tried to hold him accountable. The man is built on fraud.

Have some self-respect, man. Quit fawning over these frauds.

They didn't "earn" all that property without the hard work and sweat of other people. These people don't singularly generate all that wealth. They step all over the people that work for them to get there. F them. They owe society.

It’s time to start thinking of billionaires as dragons.

The Robin Hood story originated in the 13th or 14th century, so I don't know if the rich being narcissistic is new to modern day.

And let's not forget how they have destroyed society and our environment.

“If he needs a million acres to make him feel rich, seems to me he needs it ‘cause he feels awful poor inside hisself, and if he’s poor in hisself, there ain’t no million acres gonna make him feel rich, an’ maybe he’s disappointed that nothin’ he can do’ll make him feel rich—“ Jim Casy on William Randolph Hearst in Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath
Reminded me of Bryan Johnson and his quest to stay young.
We just made our way through chapter 18 last night for summer enrichment reading with the kid. Several themes in that chapter hit particularly hard.
