    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.

        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.
