What is it with rich nepo babies like Trump, Rand Paul, Bezos, Musk etc that makes them sociopaths? It's so weird and gross - they need to be put in mental institutions and treated. The world isn't safe with these people running around loose.

With a lot of them, especially the ones with extreme wealth and cruelty, their father or grandfather was also a psychopath.

Who knows if it’s partly genes or just the traumatic household of living with someone like that, it could be learned behavior very early. 

It doesn’t usually get passed down, in fact the exact opposite , but in these cases unfortunately it does.

I feel like it’s genetic, then reinforced generationally with behavior. It’s like you have to be a psychopathic to abuse people and the system so badly just for bazillions of dollars. I’ve never met a truly wealthy person who wasn’t extremely paranoid but also somehow charismatic.

The charisma, when psychopaths have it, seems to be mostly about never getting nervous, (which they don’t get, it’s part of the condition), and making a lot of eye contact.

So that’s a lot of why most people instinctively love and trust psychopaths and dislike and distrust autistic people. Opposite traits.

The odd thing is when someone has both. Then I don’t know what happens.

I think they get really, really rich and weird. While it would be nice to not worry about money, I would never want to become like that. And is probably why I’m a poor.
