He was successful and became rich. At some point you reach a point where more money becomes meaningless. Another 50 million when you are already a billionaire. Doesn't mean much. The mental rewards of controlling your business empire diminish, it is less fun.

But money brings power and power tends to corrupt. So now you get your kicks not by controlling thousands but by controlling entire societies by buying politicians and founding non-profit "health" institutes. And you get to see your imprint on millions of people. You even influence major policy at the government level. It's almost as good as being a dictator for life,

Then you get the likes of Elon Musk, who likes to exercise his power by attacking the institutions the Bill Gates of the world have established, doing stuff like buying twitter and letting the approved narrative be attacked. It's a healthy version of the same pathology of control. It's more anti-control with Musk, but it still has ramifications across society he can look at society and say, "I did that!"

That's my theory anyway, and I'm sticking to it.

I used to work for a boss that told me that strong backs and weak minds made the world go round, when I asked him what that meant he just told me to STFU and get back to work.

I bought it on Amazon runs about 1000.00 the first one came in warped.
Called them and they shipped another in a few days, told me to dispose of the damaged one.
Traded it for 6-8 pounds of gun powder.

I want it for my shop so my tools and all the raw stock I purchase doesn’t disappear with the local meth heads. Just another layer of protection. But sometimes I think there is nothing to keep a determined individual out if they really want in.
