The guys that you mentioned are highly competitive people... As they accomplished (money-wise) almost everything, they try to prove to others that they are the BEST in everything... Which is ridiculous, but there you are... it's happening a lot...
And to get there, they will do everything that is possible...
The thing that always comes to my mind on these occasions is the quote by Niccolò Machiavelli
The end justifies the means
Speaking of Machiavelli, did you play the game Machiavelli The Prince, like 30 years ago? 😃
I played Prince of Persia 30 years ago.
And I read il principe like 20 years ago.
Dunno how that correlates ... 🤔
I think quoting Machiavelli out of context is doing him injustice...
Anyways, in the end Musk just made a complete fool of himself.
...and I don't believe in that but rather go with Kant's categorical imperative.
Hahaha... It's just that it reminded me about the game... lol... Nothing more... 😃
The point was that people who got everything got bored, and they tried to raise the bar over and over again... In the end, they don't care about anyone or anything, just to climb on top of the "game" (no pun intended)... Lying is just s small part of the price to get there...
