The main thing sitting between me and being a billionaire is my conscience and moral values. I’m of the opinion that to become a billionaire you must necessarily have psychopathic tendencies.
For example: No way I could stand up on stage and bullshit my way through a Cybertruck reveal knowing it’s all lies and unfinished ideas.
Not just billionaires, there’s research showing that a high percentage of senior executives are likely to be psychopaths. Capitalist system selects for this behavior. People who are willing to lie, cheat, and step on others, are the ones that are rewarded and get ahead. Honest people with morals get filtered out along the way because they aren’t willing to do what a psychopath would do to succeed.
