    Man, I wish I was a deluded narcissist. Life sounds pretty good for them.

        Right right. OK let me amend: I wish I was a deluded narcissist born with a silver spoon in my mouth.

          You are saying you wish you had a mental illness. No it’s not actually fun to be a narcissist, they are emotionally broken and can’t have normal relationships. This is true for both Musk and Trump, Trump has been married 3 times, and none appear to have any actual love. Another proof is when he learned he won the presidency in 2016. There was no joy, because nothing has value to him, and all is an act for appearance to satisfy his narcissism. It’s an empty life where you can trust no one, because you think they are as untrustworthy as yourself. You think no body loves you, because you are incapable of love yourself, and all you do is to try to keep up appearances. Even when they succeed and have everything, they really have nothing.

        If you are like that, it’s much easier to get capital by lies and scheming. I know a few soulless peers from university who are making much more money than I am, because they have no moral compass
