I wonder how his parents feel about him? Are they proud? Disappointed? Indifferent?

I remember reading that his parents were working class, he didn't grow up a rich kid. It's hard to imagine how they could instill the work ethic in him that they seem to have without also instilling a moral compass, but maybe he's just chemically imbalanced.
This comment is far too much supposition for this board, apologies.

It's not at all hard to believe that they could instill a value system focussed on working toward material gain while not instilling a value system focussed on values that compete with working toward material gain.
