Tim likes money, but there's a deeper motivation than that for him - he's convinced he's correct about everything. You can see it in interviews where he talks about software and gaming, the guys ego is insane. He happens to be rich now, but that fundamental part of who he is would be there even if he had a more normal life like the rest of us. We all know a Tim Sweeney.

Yep. The dumbest person I know in real life is a coworker I have who is so full of himself that I'm convinced if our higher ups asked if anyone can build a rocket go to mars he'd volunteer and be completely serious.

He fell for an investment scam last year because the CEO of the investment company called him personally to a zoom meeting (it still had the AI watermark in the corner of the video)

Its frustrating these people get so rich and we all suffer listening to their shit and suffering the fallout of it. Like none of this is necessary.
