Because they thought it was a rational goal when they turned millionaire (might have been born millionaire), and Elmo wants to be the first trillionaire
But wanting more money isn’t really a religious or political position and you don’t really need hold an extremist position to be able to become one, as the main stream political system already allows that.
Of course I do, but that is not at all the question here.
The question is whether or not individual billionaires are political extremists. And I don’t see why they would need to be. I’m sure a lot are, but that’s just a correlation.
Well, no, the comment I replied to was you saying how you don’t see how a billionaire withholding resources they don’t need from society is a political position. Which I found surprising, since distribution of resources is one of the primary concerns of politics.
You have to be willing to make decisions to very deliberately fuck people over. To rapaciously take more than you could possibly justify with anything other than “I want to have more, when I already have plenty”
That’s not a healthy mind. It’s someone driven, and totally comfortable with doing harm to get what they want

Ah ok, so you’re just using the word “extremists” to mean someone that does something extreme. That makes more sense.
You also have to take rather extreme measures in order to become a billionaire.
Sure, like on the business side and stuff.
But wanting more money isn’t really a religious or political position and you don’t really need hold an extremist position to be able to become one, as the main stream political system already allows that.
Withholding that amount of resources from others when you have no need for them yourself is a political position.
certainly extreme to delude yourself it’s rightfully yours
while least effectively of anyone alive making good use of that money
I don’t see how it would be.
Really? You don’t see how wealth distribution relates to politics?
Of course I do, but that is not at all the question here.

No, nothing to do with business

Sounds pretty fucked to me.
Yes, a lot of them are terrible are probably psychopaths or narcissists.
But you can be all of that and not be an extremists.
You don’t think psychopaths are extreme?
It doesn’t matter if they are “extreme” or “rad” in some random aspect of their live. But they are not necessarily extremist.
If you believe 10% of people should hold 90% of wealth, you have an extremist political position. Therefore all billionaires are political extremists.
