On a quarternary carbocation there is sufficient electron density to nullify any positive charge on the quaternary carbon atom, there is also steric hindarance that comes into play because the quaternary carbon will be saturated it will be impossible for it to accommodate a positive charge

sir, can u please explain more about the electronic effects

Yes, the magical Quaternary carbocation, the unicorn of O-Chem. But I wouldn't say I hate carbocations. I only mildly disagree with them.
