Great wealth magnifies a persons traits. Some people have their positive traits enhanced, and do good with her wealth. Many, if not most, have they’re negative traits magnified.

Elon musk’s has many Trump like traits. Hubris and the need to be loved that was missing. This often leads to tragedy for themselves and others. His story will not end well.
