I mean if you transferred $500 billion to my bank account and said “clone Google” I would not get very far.

  Hire the right people with all that money and you could.

    I wouldn’t be able to evaluate people well enough to hire the right ones.

      That right there is the problem we face as a nation, Mr President.

      That doesn't take away from the point that there probably exists a non-zero number of people who could convert $500B into something of the scale of Google.

  You might not, but many of us are capable to developing the systems and features that are core to google's business, and for any parts we don't know, we know where to find the people we need.

    But why do you assume that someone like you rather than someone like me is in charge here? Statistically there are orders of magnitude more mes than yous. And empirically, it seems as though the people in charge right now are even more catastrophically incompetent than anyone thought.
