All I know is he acts like Elon Musk is his friend, and that pretty much says everything.
The company you keep speaks volumes, and anyone who would gladly keep company with Musk is a fucking psychopath.
I think his companies are making around 800 mil/yr in revenue, so it's just billionares rubbing elbows. Class warfare as usual.
Even if that number was true: Revenue isn't earnings! He has like 100-200 ppl working on the YouTube channel

He says he reinvests it all, which may be true. Amazon also famously did the same for about 20 years, but Bezos still lived like a billionaire off loans/etc during that time.
I’m poor because I reinvest my capital. How dumb does he think people are? Reinvesting capital is literally what it means to be a capitalist.
