musk, spez, zuck, bobby kotick
no, they're just idiots who were in the right place at the right time
(and maybe had good advisors, but apparently no longer)

- rzazueta 3y agoAnd all of their wealth - including that of Gates, Bezos, Ellison, ad nauseum - is built on the knowledge, expertise, and labor of people they ruthlessly exploit and manipulate for their own gain. And everyone still celebrates these assholes. Even as the scales fall from our eyes, they are still supported by their staff and employees, who continue to sell their lives to these narcissistic pieces of shit for a discount. The folks who do the real work should literally walk off the job and go start their own thing together, sharing the work and sharing the proceeds. Cut the rich assholes out of all of it.
- pas 3y agothey also very likely changed over the years. the constant tension and stress of having power and what to do with it. we see how Musk and spez basically got into this egoistic (illusion of grandeur, psychotic) state over their own respective fiefdoms. one more interesting data point about irrational decisions and power: Putin. he clawed his way into the dictatorship from a middling KGB officership. it seems his most competent skill is exactly that, scheming his way into bigger and bigger things/jobs, and of course he absolutely sucks as a leader. all in all what I'm trying to say is that yes, even if some "basic competence" is needed initially, it's irrelevant in the long term
