>The goal of Trump, Musk and co. is to make life better for the rich.
I mean that feels right. But, they have more money than they can spend. They can make their lives better by stopping being so greedy... it's not about better.
It's greed. It's the number on their total net worth, or some other bullshit number.
It's exactly like Musk paying others to play games to get him the best apparent player character. He pays others to earn money to make him look, to himself, like the best fascist-capitalist oligarch, or whatever he's going for.
In reality, their lust for boosting some vanity metric is most closely aligned with "make life worse for the poor". Because whilst they do pay some top employees well, the whole pyramid sits on the exploitation of many millions more poor people who, through their greed, the capitalists push down further into the bloody, stinking, fetid soup below.
Oh, and the capitalists rape the planet too... just to make sure no lining thing escapes the accretion zone of their self-destructive insecurity.
