It's sad that the norm is to expect those in power will try to ruin lives as fast and as efficiently as possible. Just why... They have billions of dollars already... Why
Because they're in a race against each other that they can never win. Elon Musk may have gotten a little wiggle room from his competition when SpaceX went public but you can bet your ass (cause I know all of you don't have a dollar to waste) Larry Page is running his brain ragged trying to think about how he becomes the most powerful one. It's just a pissing contest and unfortunately they're really careless
Bunch of Harkonnen scumbags.
To billionaires money is just like a high score in an arcade cabinet. And they're also evil.
I ask myself the same question. It feels like such an empty life. More and more money that they would need many lifetimes to be able to spend, which will be worth absolutely useless if and when they end up fucking up the whole world. It doesn't make sense at all. Yes, it's nice to have money to buy whatever you want, I won't argue that, but come on. At this point I'm leaning towards them just having so much fucking ego that they can't stop anymore. If anyone has another possible explanation, I'd really like to know.
