Or about anything at all really. I find his blog posts and talks banal and boring, or self-aggrandizing otherwise ("you can bend the world to your will") it was always baffling to me how this guy could achieve this much. I'm probably missing something.

His strength is in helping building multi billion dollar ventures and that’s how he ran the company, so I can see how he could run into ideological conflict with the nonprofit true believers. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2023/11/08/companies/softbank-masayoshi-son-wework/ https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2023/11/08/companies/s...
