Though a lot of those guys--Peter Thiel, for example--they're pumping millions into anti-aging research. So maybe they don't plan on ever ending up on a deathbed.
Either it's human nature to exploit resources, animals, and people until everything is used up, or we've been programmed that way by capitalism.
And the wealthier you get, the more you want, especially since the power to do whatever you want to whomever you want comes along with the fortune.
Comparing Musk to Julian Assange is enlightening. Assange leaked top secret documents in order to thwart US policy in Iraq and Afghanistan and nearly ended up in prison for life.
Musk shut down Starlink in order to thwart US policy in Ukraine and there was no comment from the White House or anyone in Congress.
