    Like, why can’t they shut up? You have capital B billions. You cannot spend it all before you die, not even id you do business like Musk. You can wake up at 2pm every day and forget there is even a city called “New York” on your private island.

    Just shut up and live in your paradise paved over human bones. Why the need to pop your head out and give your 2 billion cents when no one wants to remember you and your stolen wealth? Is it that “the criminal always returns to the scene of the crime” sorta compulsion to be visible?

    I cannot fathom the minds of these creatures called “billionaire.”

      You don’t get that rich if you don’t have something deeply broken inside you. You cash out and retire, or decide to move towards sustainability long before you’re in the multiple billions of dollars.

      Even musk who is seemingly attempting an R strategy for reproduction can leave every child he has over a billion dollars. Enough each child can without working establish themselves a moneyed family. And yet he felt compelled for a trillion. Enough to leave a thousand descendants a billion dollars (before taxes).
