      The thing is that the environment they thrive in just isn’t sustainable.

      Food & water scarcity is going to really hurt in 20 years time.

      Trump doesn’t care because he will be long dead. He just likes signing executive orders because it demonstrates how powerful he is.

      Musk knows that in troubled times the wealthy are held accountable. Billionaires will only be able to exist in a dystopian hellscape.

      They know a climate apocalypse is coming, so they all have doomsday bunkers and shit. They see themselves as the future neo-feudal rulers of whatever remains.

      If the population is culled in some way or another, prior to said climate apocalypse, then maybe it can be mitigated or averted. And they see themselves as the future neo-feudal rules of whatever remains.

      This is how they think. Some of them are just preparing for the former. Others are actively trying to bring about the latter.

      I saw someone here a while back refer to it as “Immortan Joe fantasies” if you’re familiar with Mad Max: Fury Road.
