Oh sure, wealth seems to make people completely loony and incredibly out of touch. Even having a net worth of $5 million is considered pathetic to some people, and the way they waste their money (and society's resources that could have helped hundreds or thousands of people) is insane... and then they're still obsessed with getting more. This is also what fucked over the economy for everyone else.
Splez sucks for sure, I am familiar with how he is a survival prepper and his statement about how he thinks after an apocalypse he would be a 'leader', plus he was such a douche to the Apollo developer. Also his vision for reddit is apparently to make it steadily worse, certainly a slap in the face to everyone who has enjoyed how the site used to be. If anything though I appreciate that Splez isn't out trying to make himself the center of attention the way Musk does, which is really the most objectionable thing about that dude.
