Considering the way there are people completely out of touch with reality (Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos come to mind, among many others), is it possible that maybe all that greediness made them lose their humanity? Probably not literally but I guess moreso in a metaphorical way.

Oh absolutely. I'd argue they were barely in touch with their humanity in the first place. How else can you accumulate that much wealth off the backs of others without stopping and saying to yourself, "who have I become".
