I’m always suspicious of stories that successful people are nothing special, or just have “connections”.
Sounds like jealousy.
Think what you want. I wouldn’t want anything Bezos has, too much bullcrap comes with it.
Bezos is or was not evil but he’s in the ring of evil persons.
Musk claimed he was “bipolar” giving him an out if he somehow said something favorable about Trump and such. But I believe Elon is truly gifted.
Bill Gates, like Bezos, was connected via his mother’s connection with IBM in the 70s, and IBM was part and parcel to the national security apparatus. Gates falls into the Bezos category but Bezos seems somewhat sane whereas Gates is a psychopath. That’s not jealousy, that’s fact. I can see Gates’s boat dock from my shoreline home. My neighbor, originally from England, is 20+ years with MSFT. MSFT Research was trying to rope me in after my doctorate was awarded. My late neighbor and best friend RIP, his mother lived next door to Gates’s digs in Medina. You live in this community as long as I have and you learn and confirm sh*t.
It’s not jealousy, it’s an attempt to ground people away from their hero-worship balloon rides.
I think Musk is the real deal, we’ll see. My teen son thinks he’s awesome.
