    He is an incredibly stupid person, and it’s truly insane how he’s managed to fail this far upward. I mean, even looking back at the history of PayPal, you can see these exact patterns repeating themselves (i.e. sees an opportunity to capitalize on a potential market, fails to capitalize on said market but still gets credit for putting his name on it).

    Yet, your average Joe still believes he builds rockets, cars, and is in the lab creating brain computer interfaces.

    God, I truly despise living in the west

    Ulysses must be incredibly unwell or dead at this point

    • His entire schtick is weaselling himself into a position of power and capital, use the capital to leverage new positions while using the power in an attempt to ratfuck everything not in his personal ayn rand techno-fantasy.

      Eventually the other people around him push him out, but by then he has taken all the credit, a fat stack of stock positions and, as I said before, leveraged all of that to find another unwilling host.

      He is the ultimate parasitical manifestation of Neoliberalism.

        Truly incomprehensible to me how the world treats grown adults (whose behavior is indistinguishable from children on the playground in year 4 or some shit) with any decency whatsoever. Capital is a Godamn shield
