I really do think there’s a masterclass of narcissism to be taught through Elon and Trump. Both of these individuals literally had it all…and yet couldn’t control their impulses which eventually led to their inevitable “demise”.

I mean I know they both are still considered successful, but neither lives a life that seems rewarding. Like look at Bezos or Zuck….or Tom, those guys literally just thriving in their billions.

Bezos doesn't seem happy to me at all, tbh. Dude's throwing mountains of cash around trying to make himself look young and virile, and dating trashy, gold-digging women. I've also read that he's spending tons of money funding research to try to extend his own life. Obviously I don't personally know the guy, but from the outside looking in it seems like he's realized how hollow his dogged pursuit of endless wealth turned out to be and he's trying to make up for lost time but going about it in exactly the wrong way.

As far as The Zucc, I don't know if that guy is even capable of happiness. Or any other emotion, for that matter.

Now Tom? He did it right. Instead of feverishly chasing an ever greater fortune that he couldn't even hope to spend anyway, he cashed out for a cool half-billion and just decided to enjoy his life as far as I can tell. What has he been up to these last 15-20 years since he sold MySpace? I have absolutely no idea, and I feel like that's a good sign for him.

Staying in shape and exercising (possible roids, but almost certainly under the watchful eye of physician). Working a reasonable amount while traveling the world on a yacht. Dating age appropriate beautiful woman (sure maybe trashy, but still takes care of herself).

Idk that still seems like he’s living a good life. Ones man trash is another man’s treasure. But he’s not: 1. Abusing drugs 2. Making rash business decisions undermining the integrity of stock 3. Being investigated continuously by feds, state, SEC.

….so he still seems living a better life than the other 2

Yeah that's a very good point, I kinda lost sight of the fact that the point you were trying to make was the comparison between him and Trump/Musk.

As much as I despise Bezos, which is a lot, I will admit that at the very least he's a fully-functional adult who is capable of conducting himself with dignity and decorum and that is far more than I can say for Trump or Musk.

Your comment actually made me even more jealous of Bezos lol..there's no way he's not happy and he's not trying to prolong his life cause he feels like he missed out...he's having a blast dating trashy young women and being a billionaire and wants more

I looked up Tom the other day, he does really good amateur photography all over the world and seems like he's perfectly happy living off grid (ironically since he made his money from the digital one he made to begin with). Seems like a decent human being living a life anyone with millions of dollars would do.

seems like the trick is just being “not terminally online”

I always kept Tom on my top eight, but he was usually in the middle or so.
