I’d say it’s more nuanced. Most of that money is tied up in net worth, so it’s not the accumulation of more cash necessarily. I would say the objective for a Musk or a Bezos is not the accumulation of more wealth at this point but legacy. I think they are more concerned about progressively making their business ventures more successful than making a few extra billion. That said, it is curious why someone who has a hundred million in cash wouldn’t just donate most of it and try to survive on 10 million.

This is correct.  Most billionaires are not trying to make more money.  They are trying to accomplish things that sometimes increases their wealth.  But making money is not the goal.
