Because it's not about money for them, they've already surpassed that concept, it a about power. Us peasants aren't quite evolved enough to understand that yet.
I mean Elon Musk once scoffed and told sponsors to go fuck themselves for daring to pull their advertising from Twitter. I don't think he understood that it was business and that some businesses run by running ads paid for by sponsors.
It's like he forgot what a business was...
It's not just about power. For many, it's also a way to keep score, to feel better about themselves compared to others. (Not trying to justify; it's still a sickness.)
Look how much Bezos and Musk feuded over which one of them was the "richest" man in the world. Or, hell, just the fact that they're still running companies when they already have more money than most countries.
Still begs the question why they need tax cuts then? It doesn't give them more power, it doesn't really give them much more money (in the grant scheme of things).
