I’ve done deals with several of them. They are slippery and evasive mother fuckers. Everything is a leverage, ego, resource or asset grab and even when they are being charitable (in business dealings) they are still slippery, evasive, ego driven and looking to control resources and assets.
there’s nothing to worship or revere, they are maniacal assholes. And the ones that openly aspire to be billionaires are worse.
I’ve worked with more $20-50-100+ millionaires than I can count. At the lower end of that they are different but not the same. Often out of touch - beyond financial security - they have lost track of much of what worries normal people but they are not a virus like billionaires.
there is not one redeeming quality to the billionaires I’ve met. They are loathsome humans. If I had that money I would give it away, now. There is no reason to need more money than you can spend. Once you move into buying influence like musk can do it’s more money than you should legally be allowed to have.
