    billionaires would suffer extreme depression and paranoia until they downgrade to millionaire status

    I think that’s kindof already a thing. Like, do billionaires as a demographic come across as not depressed and paranoid to you?

    Trump famously eats McDonalds so much largely due to paranoia about being poisoned. (Hitler had similar anxiety delusions about being poisoned.) Musk is so insecure about himself that he pays people to play video games good so he can trick everyone into thinking he’s a good gamer.

      I’ve never knowingly met a billionaire, so I’ve only ever seen staged appearances. I’m pretty sure Musk would be weird despite his billionaire status. Trump, or probably any president, knows there’s a million people out there who would willingly kill him, but I think that’s about power and how he wields it rather than because of the money he has
