He's a fucking idiot who figured out how to make a web site and got lucky with what he built and when he built it. He is not brilliant by any measure. Fuck him.
All of the billionaires are fucking idiots who got lucky. I have no idea why people look up to them like they're supergeniuses. They're clearly not. We've learned to equate money with intelligence but there's actually little connection. I'd argue it's more closely aligned with immorality, and of course luck is a big part of it. The immorality just helps you turn a little startup luck into even more "luck", recursively, forever.
They literally all brag about not being educated, it's not like they didn't tell us. lol
Why is this 'either or'? He is a brilliant person and a sociopath. It's not mutually exclusive.
He is not brilliant person. He would be fired many times over if he didn't own majority shares.
For example that whole Horizon Worlds blunder.
I'd say this is enough to call him brilliant.
Just because he's an arrogant sociopath doesn't mean he's also a knuckle dragging idiot.
ZuckNet was a simple text based tool for clients on the same network to send IM's to each other.
I did something like that too when I was in middle school. I must be brilliant too! I'll go tell my boss I should be running this shit.
