Sunday

He thinks you inherit it or steal it.
Research scares him because he is intimidated by real inteligence, doesn't understand that everyone else isn't faking it, and he knows he can't trick educated people into voting for him.

On some level he's in it for the long haul--plans to be dictator and immortal.
On another level he's in it for the short run. All the ramifications of the research (and the planet) he is destroying will happen after he is dead.
