I have this pet theory about how people who learn that their privilege lets them bend or ignore human laws subconsciously believe that they can bend or ignore any law. So I always enjoy it when rich assholes buy super-cars and wrap them around trees, a surprisingly common occurrence, because the laws of physics aren’t impressed by your financial portfolio.
hilariously the only things that made it fail were 1) the material they chose 2) producing that material the cheap way and 3) not testing if it was broken after test dives.

Exactly, but somebody already mentioned that.
Elon did that with a McLaren, and Peter Thiel as a passenger.
Good. That poor McLaren shouldn’t have to be driven by Elon Musk.
Most rich do bend the laws in their favor all the time, very successfully in fact.
The learned experience that the cautionary advice other people gave them was inaccurate in their case is very real.
