Your assuming CEO and billionaires are / can be friends with actual down to earth good people.

They can't.

X doubt

No idea, I've never known anyone who was VP or CEO. My guess is by the time you reach that position you've already surrounded yourself with like minded soulless monsters, those childhood friends have been purged long ago. Perhaps a family member or two might say something at a holiday dinner, but most people probably say fuck it and keep the peace or stop going to family events where this guy's monstrous stink sours the mood.

CEOs have friends who are also rich and exploited people to get rich. They don't care and only think about us as expendable resources for capital gain. Ethical treatment only extends to those at their perceived level.

What Luigi incident? He was with me working out at the gym.

People getting CEO jobs aren't hanging with working class bros. They either never were working class or they shed those connections on their way along the corporate ladder.

Yeah he had friends but they would probably have done the same thing in his situation

So I worked for someone who worked with the c suite and more than once I heard a comment about how they were told are not to socialize below director level. Asses until they need something done and anyone who knows shit has quit so they're fucked and have to start being nice to people.
