I wonder if founders are as petty as Gavin Belson
- rurp 6y agoI would imagine it's common. There was an article on here not too long ago about how the entire Amazon HQ2 fiasco came about because Bezos was jealous that Elon Musk was getting more govt subsidies than him. If one of the most successful people in the world can be so focused on petty grudges, I imagine there are plenty of others doing the same.
- akhilcacharya 6y agoWhy would Jeff be jealous of Elon? That makes no sense.
- samfisher83 6y agoYou should listen to Michael Jordans hall of speech to see how pretty he was. He is considered the greatest basketball player in the world and he spend the whole speech belittling people.
- toyg 6y agoIn the docuseries he himself produced, MJ comes off as an absolute bully most of the time. It ruined a lot of the mythos for me.
- Apocryphon 6y agoI remember as a kid there was a child's book about basketball players and it mentioned that MJ was an aggressive, confrontational player who trash talked the other team. It shaped a conception of him as a champion who is fiercely competitive to the point of pettiness (not unlike Bill Gates, funnily enough), not a champion who is known for noble sportsmanship.
