because society is jealous. they wish they could be him.

they aren't jealous of a horder. they think that person is sad and gross.

I have family member who have a net worth of over 50million, all they talk about is how poor they are, how they can't afford anything, how everything is so unfair to them... etc. They believe they are struggling working-class people. They adore Elon and think he's a genius and they wish they could be as rich as him and they think if they were all their 'struggles' would be solved... they especially love the idea of never paying any taxes, because they think taxes are theft from themselves to 'waste' on poor lazy piece of shit who refuse to 'grow up' and go get 250k/yr jobs.

and there are lots and lots of rich people like my family who think the same way... and who think because they donate like a pittance of their money each year they are morally perfect human beings.
