The greed motive has nothing to do with conspicuous consumption or work ethics, or risk management. He is most definitely motivated by greed, regardless of how he expends the money or perceive risk. I'd go further and say no one who lives on a salary can really grasp how a billionaire calculates risk.

In my experience, people who start companies for the money always fail, because their conviction is weak. Especially risky ones like EVs and rockets. I simply don’t buy it. I think this attitude is mainly a defense mechanism.

It's a selection bias to think you have insight into enterprise success based on how your friends fared there...
