these are billionaires surrounded by yes men. Idiots like Elon Musk used to have smart PR but then their ego and narcissism took over and they built some weird cult of personality where if you disobey you lose your source of income, so they're surrounded by followers.
I've been relatively close to a techie who became a CEO and it corrupts them. They think that shit lasts forever and start acting like how they think heartless money worshipping CEOs should act.
People like Zuck don't realize that luck is half of what made them that big, that it's not genius level business maneuvers. They were just lucky entrepreneurs. When they put money where their mouth is, you get the Metaverse, the cyber truck, stupid shit driven by ego.
Now that Facebook elders are dying off, they get "AI layoffs" which arent actually ai related, and courts that are no longer in favor of them.
