Forty-four billion dollars to not have the employees, offices, servers, code, reputation, vetting, or brand.
And his hot new name for this smoldering ruin is... X.
Absolute fucking child.
I grew such hatred for this man in the past years I wish he would just ruin himself and not hear a delusional thing from him ever again.
I was thinking of that. By this guy I’d also the one that is associated with spaceX, Sterling, neuralink and Tesla.
Even if he is only a marketer or a shill or just lucky or whatever; I recognize the fact that not everyone is that lucky or ‘in the right place at the right time’ that often. So there’s got to be something he is doing right.
And that then leads me to wondering, how do you handle that? As a public figure, everything he fits is open to the world, but do you any I always make perfect decisions 100% of the times? And do we really expect anyone to make perfect decisions all the time?
If him and bezos were thinking of always being right, they simply wouldn’t be where they are today. And then you can make the argument that maybe we would have been better off. But what’s to say there wouldn’t have been someone else?
Sorry, didn’t mean to get all philosophical, but I am getting to ignoring billionaires shenanigans than trying to understand the reasoning. Just like I ignore the life of the other 99.9% of the world.
You’re delusional if you are equating Besos and Musk as CEOs. One built their company from the ground up by making judicious decisions. The other took emerald mine money from daddy and started buying shit.
Lol you're funny if you don't think besos also had rich parents
Bezos did have events like his parents loaning him $300k early on, which isn't like being handed $400 million but it's an advantage not everyone has.
Exactly. And let’s not forget that the rich have stronger class solidarity. Bezos got a lot more than a $300k loan; he got the experience of a wealthy education which is primarily for the networking. He got access to his parents’ network as well.
See also Bill Gates, who, in a bout of nepotism, used his mommy’s rich connections with IBM to secure Microsoft. People don’t understand that Microsoft made nothing of actual worth in their early days. They were middlemen, buying DOS from someone else and claiming it as their own.
Like, oh, Tesla.
