Considering the way there are people completely out of touch with reality (Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos come to mind, among many others), is it possible that maybe all that greediness made them lose their humanity? Probably not literally but I guess moreso in a metaphorical way.

Greed is a horrible addiction, these people have sacrificed so much time and energy they could have spend on loved ones simply because they where thought that your life worth is measured cash. There is no way back for them, its literal investors fallacy. They can spend the rest of their life in luxery leissure while tipping generously to anyone poor they face and they still wouldn’t be able to spend the majority of their fortune.

And yet they chose to do whatever it takes to gain even more. Truly sick and really really sad.
