My pet theory is this is the form of "elite overproduction" where affluent kids lacking meaning in their life are drawn to stupid ideas combined with exaggerated sense of self-importance. Explains all kinds of morons from mild like Dean Preston (prep school? check, "change the world"? check) to crazy like this guy (prep school? check, "change the world"? check), and across the political spectrum from random Ivy-educated non-profit workers to Trump (prep school? check, "change the world"? check; although he was satisfied with being a rich asshole for most of his life and developed this syndrome later). I'd like to call it "prep school scumbag syndrome". Trump is actually a good illustration of a related fact that hereditary rich who are content with being hedonistic assholes are much less harmful than the same in search of impact and meaning. To fix it, we need new rule - if, adjusted for median same-ages pairings, you have/make less money than expected compared to your parents, you don't get to participate in politics in any way! Just kidding (sorta). Notably, the slain CEO appears to have been from a working class family and a university of nowhere, and worked his way up. This is the kind of person I, personally, admire.
