He really said that? Plugging it into Google yields no results.
That's a really dumb thing to say, a very tech billionaire misunderstanding of Marx.
- moolcool 4y agoHe did, in a now deleted tweet. He verifies the screenshots veracity in the replies. https://twitter.com/IlariKaila/status/1600120645211201536 https://twitter.com/IlariKaila/status/1600120645211201536

- timmytokyo 4y agoWhich is hilarious, because one of Marxism's core tenets is that new technologies and industrialization lead to the deskilling of workers, resulting in the need for fewer of them. Probably why PG deleted his original tweet and rewrote it.
- moolcool 4y agoHe said he deleted it because mentioning Marx “attracts angry fools”, so if you’re right, his attempt to save face is hilarious.
