      “This guy lost like $30B under a year. I wanna be just like him!”

      How fucking stupid are these people?

        The thing to remember is that CEOs aren’t typically any smarter than the average person. They ended up in that position from inheritances, personal connections, etc. In the case of Musk, he has so much disposable income around that he can throw $30B at something and still have more than you or I will ever earn in a lifetime.

          But you just know he has people that are on the payroll specifically to advise him and develop strategy. Either they’re surrounded by yesmen or they’re too arrogant to listen to the people they pay for advice. Okay, it’s probably both.

        Spez sold Reddit for some small $mils before failing his other project and returning as a hired CEO. He is a cheapskate among media magnates. He isn’t clever and is a loser. He adores Elon because he wishes he can throw money around just like him, but on the day’s end he knows he doesn’t have comparable wealth and he is there just because he happened to be around Aaron Swartz and other cool dudes. He himself couldn’t create Reddit. And being the top admin of it now is probably the closest thing in corporate world to cuckolding, for he doesn’t have a word in managing the ‘frontpage of the internet’ he once owned, he just follows what the board says him to. Sad piece of shit he is. Won’t cry about him tho. Let misery fall onto his little empty head.
