    If you ever listen to Behind the Bastards, then you’ll notice a pattern of emotional stunting in the growth of billionaires. The kids that have the money straight away, not the ones that really do make it themselves wherever they are.

    Exemplar: Elon.

    Though the imagery that sticks out in my mind is one of Zuckerberg playing mall ninja in his original office space, as the boss, walking around with a samurai sword and fake swiping at employees with it.

      None of them make it themselves…

      But they act like spoiled kids because that’s how everyone treats them, because at that level of wealth the only people you’re around will say whatever gets you to give them money.

      It doesn’t take long before they forget how to be a normal human

        People who talk to you like an AI bot. Maybe that’s why the AI talks that way. It’s all they know.

          Never thought of that, but yeah…

          Especially for Elon, it’s not just people in person, he bought twitter just to have his own echo chamber

          When grok constantly glazes him, that’s what he thinks a normal person acts like. If it acts like a human would, Elmo can’t recognize it.
