Yeah exactly. And the billionaire is laser focused on generating dollars.

Not just more dollars in the world though. More dollars for themselves, specifically.

We can re-ground ourselves in your original comment that I am responding to though, which is this:

> I think the most chronic misunderstanding in the "billionaire" rhetoric is that billionaires are in it for money.

Nope. There's no misunderstanding. Billionaires are definitely in it for the money.

Perhaps it was my mistake to rely on the colloquial meaning of "in it for the money".

What could possibly be the non-colloquial meaning of the phrase? It's a colloquial expression.
