"Normal people" do the right thing because they believe the legal system works. Truth is it doesn't. If the "normal people" truly understood that, deep down, like billionaires and criminals do (I'm slightly redundant here, although not every billionaire is as reckless as Musk is), which means not simply complaining about it online or in a pub on Friday night at work, but grok it as in "I can take advantage of this" way... then society is over.
You are surprised, because you think the system works. Most people are surprised. And every time someone like Musk shows us how you can disregard basic laws, morality, norms, the less surprised we are, and the more we begin to grok the situation.
