He shows the hatred he has towards Gatsby and calls him a nobody because he has “false” wealth, “Self-control!” Tom repeated incredulously. "I suppose the last thing is to sit back and let Mr. Nobody from nowhere make love to your wife. Well, if that's the idea you can leave me out […] Nowadays people are starting to mock family life and institutions family , and then they will throw everything into the sea and have intermarriages between whites and blacks” (Fitzgerald 130). Tom basically says that Gatsby is a nobody and has done nothing to get his money doing so "buys" from Daisy and shows an example of money buying happiness. Tom also uses his money to make him happy rather than Daisy, with Myrtle but Wilson, there too and Tom hates poor people like Wilson. It makes Tom angry , which does not equate to Tom's happiness and thus coming to the conclusion that money really can't buy
