There’s a thing that happens to people like Zuckerberg and Musk. They get a lot of hate (deserved, yes, but they don’t see it that way, and it’s probably true that they get plenty of undeserved hate too). Anyway they get used to the hate. It stops affecting them. But in this process they also develop a detached disdain for the public. They write off humanity. This same thing that allows them survive the hate also allows them to walk around like they know better and are better. It’s what sucks all compassion out of them. And then they behave like criminal overlords, because the can and honestly it’s the final “fuck you” they can give the world.
I’m not rendering any judgment here, like “we should stop hating on these guys.” No. I’m just saying I think this is part of how they get to be this way.
