He was super rich and felt that competition was a curse that interfered with his power. Naturally he felt that because of his present position under the rules he should be able to use his power to over power weaker competitors. So the answer is simply Greed for money and power.Similar situations are developing today in thinly disguised oil cartels.

Yes, John D. Rockefeller was a proponent of Social Darwinism, which emphasized competition and natural selection in business practices. He believed that successful individuals and enterprises were inherently superior and that competition would ultimately benefit society as a whole.

Social Darwinism gives a moral justification for rejecting social insurance and supporting tax cuts for the rich. When America looks back on her economic history two men stand out as icons for business the American way, John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie. Both Rockefeller and Carnegie believed in social Darwinism. This gave them the "scientific" rationale for their greed, ambition and ruthless competition. Rockefeller wrote "The growth of large business is merely a survival of the fittest…the American Beauty rose can be produced in splendor and fragrance which brings cheer to its beholder only by sacrificing the early buds which grow up around it. This is not an evil tendency in business. It is merely the working out of the law of nature and the law of God." "The 'survival of the fittest' was quickly interpreted as an ethical precept that sanctioned cutthroat economic competition."
