12. That makes them more than a psychopath

if you're right that they enjoy it. You may be right. Basically, a psychopath is missing the brain function that has empathy; it's genetic. Supposedly 8% of the human race are psychopaths. Most have learned early in life that it's in their self interest to conform to societal norms and they're not easily noticed. But given the opportunity they can easily become more than a psychopath because they have no remorse. Then they would have other social disorders added to the mix. To be fair, the definitions change now and then.

Personally, I think Musk, Trump, Thiel and others think it's in their best self interest to cull the human race whether they are enjoying it or just doing what comes naturally.
