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.

I've spent a lot of time around the wealthy. The vast majority are living in a highly distorted reality. I think it comes from the fact that they are surrounded by yes men and sycophants. They never get told no, no matter how shitty they behave or how stupid their ideas are .
