Elon Musk is definitely a very high functioning one and after watching The Billionaires Who Made Our World, on Ch4, Bill Gates, Bezos and Zuckerberg all fit the mould.

I was alway hoping one day she’d reap what she’s sewn. Now I’m a happier bunny knowing she’s got hers
And .. another thread bites the dust.
Is that because they're wealthy and you don't like it or because they've actually done something wrong? I don't see how they do anything different from what we do for ourselves every single day.Elon Musk is definitely a very high functioning one and after watching The Billionaires Who Made Our World, on Ch4, Bill Gates, Bezos and Zuckerberg all fit the mould.
PD wasn't considered mental health as it it couldn't be treated like MH, until they decided they wanted to put a dangerous PD in Broadmoor and reclassified it.Is that because they're wealthy and you don't like it or because they've actually done something wrong?

Elon Musk wants his companies to do well but I go to work to want to do well so I can progress and get paid more etc, what is the difference?
Ask yourself who works for free and only cares about everyone else? Nobody, we only turn up to work to earn money or achieve something for ourselves so what's the difference? If we were told to work for free for the next month so we can give someone else a pay rise then very few people would do it.
A question for the left on here is do you want any single business to suffer, fail or go bust? If you do then consider the jobs, pay-rises and wealth lost.... Who is the true sociopath now?
Human progress requires pain unfortunately and we're lucky because we've learnt to lessen the pain but that's the only reason why we're no longer living in mud huts and killing each other for food, the latter we're hardwired to do if absolutely necessary..... Maybe actually we're all sociopaths to some degree either way?
I'm by no means left leaning and it has nothing to do with wealth. If it was wealth then I would have included many others such as Mittal, Rausing etc. Its how they operate at a personal level.Is that because they're wealthy and you don't like it or because they've actually done something wrong?

A sociopath has the following traits...
- Lack of empathy for others
- Impulsive behavior
- Attempting to control others with threats or aggression
- Using intelligence, charm, or charisma to manipulate others
- Not learning from mistakes or punishment
- Lying for personal gain
- Showing a tendency to physical violence and fights
Musk has a history of threatening or firing employees who disagree with him, forced the reopening of a Tesla factory that was subjected to over 450 public health orders and operating business that have been described as sweat shops by employees.
Gates best friend through university Paul Allen, who set up Microsoft with him, got cancer and was fired by Gates, because he was no longer useful. Just like Musk, he wouldnt tolerate anyone with different opinions or criticism.
Have a watch of the documentaries and then tell me that they dont have the characteristics listed above.
Whether you need to have those traits to survive around other sociopaths is an entirely separate question. There's no doubt in business that you need to make difficult decisions, but its how you go about them that separates just good business from acting in a sociopathic manner.
It says a lot for the likes of John Cadbury and Joseph Rowntree who didnt see money as the sole purpose of being in business.
I understand but he's running a company to achieve goals and not to do good for his employees. It's well known that working for SpaceX for example is very difficult because you have to put the company first above all else including your social life and life in general. Not many people can cope with that but clearly enough people can or they wouldn't be building rockets and sending people to space.I'm by no means left leaning and it has nothing to do with wealth.

It's a f*cking bin fire. He couldn't make it any worse if he tried.
