False.
Money is not the end goal it is a tool, it is a physical embodiment of power. Money for money's sake does literally nothing, it's why billionaires start hiring lobbyists, buying media stations, starting charities, etc to push their views and influence onto society.
Capitalists only seek influence to better facilitate higher profits. You've got it flipped, money isn't pursued for power, power is pursued for money, as capitalism is a control system that selects for the most profitable and discards the rest.
