Of course my post was a gross overstatement. But the bell shaped curve of empathy by wealthy people is severely skewed towards lack of empathy. Likewise there are assholes among the less fortunate but I suspect that they are more empathetic.

If I were doing a study I would have the impact of each individual weighted by their wealth. Musk would be over the top. But this is obvious.

The current crop is much different than those of my childhood. Mostly believed in the "social gospel." In some cases left all their money to charity.

Which brings up the point- no matter if they use their money for good or bad, why should they be the ones to decide social issues? What's going on in Wisconsin right now is cause for concern. Wait, that sounds like a Chuck Schumer comment. We should be fucking pissed and that asshole should be arrested! That's better.
