I don't agree with much of what you wrote.

Money is simply a storage battery for our labor. Is it greed for a man to protect his wealth from thieves?

I don't envy those who have been successful. I would rather work for a rich man than a poor one. I've done both and the former is much better.

Musk and Trump both are taking great risk doing what they do. They both could retire and live in the lap of luxury. Musk in particular is one of my favorite rich people. He absolutely cares about making the world a better place and he's putting his money where his mouth is. I like that he also has a sense of humor in the process.

Calling people Narcissist is a trained habit of Democrats. The word has been cheapened by its constant use as a bludgeon against people. Democrats have done more to dilute the language than any group in history. It's based on raw emotion combined with ignorance of language.

You and I have been in this conversation elsewhere, Gandalf. Your thought processes are definitely different from my analysis and experience of this world.

Have you never met a wealthy person who is also very generous?

In my experience, most want to help those in need, but also do not coddle those who refuse to try to help themselves.
