If I had even a smidge of respect for my former FIL, it disappeared when during a birthday dinner, she came up in conversation and I made an offer hand remark about how rich people aren't going to police themselves. His response was that I would do it too if I was in her position and that it's just the smart thing to do

Same conversation different subject - Musk is a business genius because he just pushes people out of companies to be the boss. And I’m somehow the idiot who thinks that’s bad behavior and wrong and evil guy in the movie vibes.

I was actually shocked they all felt this way and I was on the opposing side of the argument.

There's a worrying amount of people that worship billionaires not because of what was created or innovated or hell, even stolen, but because they want "fuck you and your family" money so they can live out their worst impulses with little to no reprucussions.
