I don’t think he has ever actually tried to buy happiness. What he has tried to do is use his money to generate anger, misery and nonsense. He has succeeded in achieving that, both for others and himself.
If he actually tried to buy happiness he absolutely could. With billions of dollars I could absolutely buy myself and millions of others some happiness just by putting it into projects that meaningful improve lives in an area.
Dude could say “I’ll give a hundred million dollars to each member of Congress that votes in favor of universal healthcare so long as it passes” and voila, instantaneous people’s hero
Musk, Bezos, and probably a few others we don’t know the names of could end world hunger tomorrow if they wanted to. They’d just have to bribe the US government to spend something like $100B per year, which is about 1/10th of the military budget. Every day that they don’t is a reminder that the bourgeois are evil.
I’m sure he once offered some large amount of money to anybody who provides an “ernest” plan to solve world hunger and when he got called on it, he immediately used the weasel word to triple back the fuck out.
He could use his wealth to solve the housing crisis overnight if he wanted to. Imagine housing for all, a right for everyone, you’d go down as a champion of the people. But nope, instead he spews poison at trans people and stirs shit with chuds.
I don’t think he has ever actually tried to buy happiness.
Yeah, he wants to buy happiness but he doesn’t really want to pay full price.
Because it’s not the case that money can’t be spent in a process that yields happiness, it’s that money alone isn’t sufficient. Happiness is the return on investments in kindness and other genuine acts of love, but he only has money and spite, which don’t foot the bill.

Looked it up and of course it was just a tax scam for his “foundation” that does nothing but profit him: https://truthout.org/articles/musk-pledged-6b-to-solve-world-hunger-but-gave-it-to-his-own-foundation-instead/

Yeah exactly. There’s a lot of ways to use this money to buy happiness, he chooses to buy unhappiness and succeeds at it.
