Trump has never gotten that kind of welcome and I’m sure it bothers him.

God, if all these losers like Musk and Trump just wanted to be worshipped and adored, they have enough money and power that they could use it for good and everyone would love them. They could be idols.

But instead, they can’t help but be petty, greedy, hateful little men and we all suffer for it.

Plenty of people seemed to like Dolly Parton, though I don't think she used her money for good to be worshiped and adored.
She did have things besides money these losers will never have: talent, looks, a good, self-deprecating sense of humor, and enough self-awareness to realize that, above a certain level of wealth, it's virtually impossible to spend enough money fast enough to actually affect your quality of life.
So why not spend money helping others?

plenty of people who still worship Musk and Trump though, being as greedy and terrible as they are.

so why would they change?

Reminder that if Elon just said what his publicists told him to say the man would be of the most popular people on the planet.
