From her interview with Rolling Stone. She just nails it.
“It’s not just about money. It’s about being so rich that you actually believe yourself to be God. This is the corrupting influence.”
Her comment above goes on:
We have all these slogans: “Every billionaire is a policy failure.” But it goes beyond that. When you have people who have more money than has ever been concentrated in the history of money — you do believe that you’re better than other people, in a way that I don’t think that we can totally fathom.
What does Elon Musk think it means to be the richest person in the world? How does that change you? One of the ways that it changes people’s brains is you believe the rules shouldn’t apply to you. You believe you should be able to act like a king. And when you can’t — when you’re told by the state you actually have to follow these rules, or do other things — it ignites rage. And we’re in that rage.
That describes Trump too. He’s a billionaire and he’s president of the United States! He’s one of the most famous people in the world! HOW DARE THEY TRY TO TELL HIM WHAT HE CAN AND CANNOT DO!
She says:
We underestimated the rage that inspired. So we’re in a counter-revolution. And it’s hard to understand, because these people have everything. But what they want is beyond that. They want to not be accountable to anyone. Because what they want is absolutely everything.
