The most annoying thing is society's (especially American society) admiration for Billionaires and the belief that their IQ is in the four digits or some crap like that. More than intelligence, it takes ruthlessness, narcissism and questionable ethics (or no ethics at all) to amass hundreds of billions of dollars in a couple of decades.

I feel sorry for anyone who worships people like Musk or Theil. Sure Theil was supposedly a talented chess player in his youth, did well in school etc. But so do millions of other kids. These dudes don't have so much money because they are intelligent, they have so much money because they are willing to do damn near anything to get it - including trampling over people that helped them in the first place
