Even in this, though, they're complete hypocrites. "It's just business" is a well-known phrase - in other words, their mentality is, it's okay to dick people over, because business is a cutthroat world and that's just how it works - no, more, being driven by selfish interests for wealth and other luxuries is how everyone thinks, even if they don't want to admit it. So don't get mad you got dicked over, it's just because we're smarter and more ambitious than you.
But when their turn comes, in those moments when their own awful planning and convoluted schemes collapse in on themselves and, (such as in the GME short squeeze) they end up getting outsmarted by the masses of people they believe they are inherently superior to, then they show their true faces as spoiled brats who are used to getting anything they want whenever they want it, and throw a tantrum when, in these rare cases, they are denied something they demanded. Ultimately, the great financiers are nothing but their own wealth and nepotistic connections. It's become their entire reality, without it, they'd be no one.
