Most billionaires figured this out ages ago: thread very carefully when speaking publicly,or don't say anything at all unless it somehow benefits you down the line. There were litterly cases of large companies collapsing because some arrogant tool at the top couldn't keep their mouth shut. I never was a fan of him, but apart from being a huge douche, he's unpredictable,so how could I invest in anything behind him if he goes from zero to hundred and then back multiple times a day?
- lostmsu 4y agoIf anything, why would you prefer a billionaire who keeps to himself, and is afraid to speak his mind?
- cosmodisk 4y agoI don't prefer either type, I was simply stating the way it is.
- coke12 4y agoIn general we want the richest and most powerful members of society to behave predictably, and ideally rationally, so that we can make long term plans without worrying about the fickleness of a small number of people. We have a lot of problems to solve over the next few decades and chaos agents in the billionaire ranks won't help. Global economic growth depends on predictability. If we want another chaos agent in charge we should elect them democratically.
