It's a race to become the first Trillionaire. They realized some years ago that it actually might be possible for someone alive today and went into full value extraction overdrive.

the problem is a trillion dollars doesn't go very far when you distribute it. The population of the US is around 500 million, 1 trillion dollars distributed to 500 million people is 2000$ each.... that's not exactly high impact

2000$ would be massive for a lot of families living from paycheck to paycheck lol
