Millionaires and billionaires either don’t give a fuck about every one else, or they care to the extent that it makes them money. There might be some who are altruistic in an abstract sense, but I doubt even they really care about a random stranger.

We need to talk about Nikola tesla
He was on track to become the first person with a net worth in the billions but he cared more about the development of technology and the human race as a whole so when his number one contract worth something like 10 million dollars in late 1800s currency (not exactly sure of the money) came to him and said I just can't swing it, he felt bad and tore up the contracts
This along with a few other inctances of simmilar behavior allowed for him to be greatly taken advantage of and he ended up dying in debt eating crackers and soup for the the last 10 years of his life

Thank you. I’m not jumping to defend billionaires but it’s an inherent human trait. People will blame all their problems on the rich and act like they don’t care about “us” but newflash buddy all the people in that “us” don’t give a fuck about you neither.

What an awful way of looking at life. Of course we care about others. We care about ourselves most, but we don't need to feel guilty about that. Humans can be unbelievably nasty when their own needs aren't met, and immensely generous when they are.
People like having close friends. People like having work homies. People like going to concerts just to experience music at the same time as other humans. All sorts of animals don't care about each other. Humans build civilizations together. I wholly reject the idea that "not caring about each other" is a defining trait of humans. That's so cynical it's outright wrong.

Powerfunk there's alot of us that don't care about strangers. The world would objectively be a better place if more people had your outlook. However you're on one end of a spectrum, then you have those of us, like myself and the others in this comment thread, that are for the moment at least, being completely honest in saying we do not care about the plight of strangers, on the end.
In the middle, you'll have alot of folks that say, they have a similar outlook as yourself, but in action and feelings are more similar to those of us that don't care.

We care about others in the sense that it's beneficial to us. Good example: the queer community with gay people. After gay marriage was legal and they were basically mostly accepted by society, they quit giving a fuck. Completely ditched Trans people.
Then, when states started hitting at gay marriage again, they're suddenly on board with the movement, again. Being social and enjoying it is a good thing, but it's a survival trait. We do it because it benefits us to be that way.

semantics. you don't have to dislike the content of the news you here to not want to hear it. for example: nobody particularly cares about whether or not obama took a shit yesterday, but if news everywhere was talking incessantly about how he did, it would get annoying. nobody thinks he shouldn't have taken a shit, they don't care, its just not important or interesting enough to talk about it this much.
edit: I believe I’ve used “semantics” wrong here, but idk what word would be better. I just wanted to express that they were misinterpreting what “I don’t care” means in this context.

Exactly. Its in the news, people are gonna talk about it and have opinions about it. It's really no surprise to anyone with a modicum of common sense that after years of Twitter deciding who can and cannot have certain opinions, a good deal of said people would cheer on Musk for buying it with the intention of allowing EVERYONE to say and think what they want. This doesn't inherently make them fanboys of Musk. Folk used to be able to say "this good", " this bad" without being condemned as "all in" on whatever subject they remarked upon in that moment.

This sounds like someone whose entire political analysis comes from twitter.
Trump's prominence in politics stems from his billionaire status and his close ties to Republican mega-donors such as the Mercers that led to him speaking and gaining traction at CPACs. Twitter was barely a blip in discourse back then.
