The crucial part of this is that they are only able to be arseholes because they are successful. Musk can be a prick because he's sitting on billions. Bezos can exist perfectly well after having his empathy surgically removed, because he has wealth to feed all starving people in the world and still be have 100 billion change. Nobody does a favour to someone who is a dick, unless they have to. I was/am a sysadmin. I am successful precisely because I'm not a dick to people. I am helpful which means I got promoted, and a reputation for being useful. When people moved to better companies, they would recommend me. This not because I was a better engineer, its because I was useful. Be kind, its good for you, and those around you.
