Really rich people are creepy and they do creepy things. Billionaires spend a lot on media influence to manufacture consent for their existence and for the status quo their kingdoms are built on, but also because they need lots of PR assistance since they're so fucking creepy.
The richer you are the more divorced from normality you become. You don't even know how a normal person acts. It never even occurs to you that people will think you look creepy devouring a baked lizard or buying up vast swathes of America's farmland.
You lose the part of yourself that goes "Hmm, better not do that publicly, people will think I'm creepy."
Before you know it you're blasting off on a $5 billion carnival ride to space in a rocket that looks like a penis going "Yeah, this is fine. This is just normal stuff."
I mean, come on.
I mean, just saying you want to ship all the normal people into space to breed in giant rotating cylinders? That's creepy. That's really, really creepy.

And what's even creepier is the ways they're trying to cheat death so we'll be stuck with these freaks forever.
