Reality tells them they don't deserve their wealth and power. Whatever work, no matter how much it was, is not worth even a billion dollars, let alone a 100 billion. Their wealth and power far outstrips any reasonable belief they could have that they deserve it, even to delusional morons like Elon. In fact, the more obviously stupid they are the more they are going to work to have reality tell them they are not. So they have to use their wealth and power to change reality to solve this cognitive dissonance. This is why Elon musk has to pretend to be good at video games and has embraced far right fascists on twitter who flatter him at every opportunity. He needs to be able to tell himself he deserves what he has, as if any amount of intelligence or contribution could justify his extreme wealth hoarding.
