For true stories that are so ridiculous, that you could have sworn it was an !theonion worthy story.

What is infecting the ultra-rich these days? I assume both Andreessen and Musk were at least passibly sane-seeming individuals before they fell face-first into unimaginable wealth. But rather than thinking, “Cool! Me, my family, all future generations of my family and everyone we know and love can now live comfortable lives and never have to worry or work again.” they get on world media and declare, “All you fuckers are out to get me, but I’m gonna get you first!”
What is causing this? Is it drugs? Is it the money? Why are so many ultra-rich going batshit?
We really need accessible mental care in this country.
Everyone is susceptible to manipulation. The ultra rich are big targets. They see people saying they want free healthcare and education and realize that they'll have to pay a lot more in taxes if that happens.
