A walking-talking disease

Elon Musk is on the verge of becoming the world's first trillionaire. His personal wealth will amount to more than 1.1 trillion dollars. A trillion dollars is one million million dollars, one thousand billion dollars. There are less than ten thousand hours in a year. So one would have to dispose of one million dollars every hour for well over a century just to spend so much money. And yet this fellow - this clever capitalist - still has not realized or does not appreciate the fact that accumulation of so much money by a single person means that countless other persons will not have even their bare survival needs met.
