With any luck apple or Google have hired all the Twitter Devs to create the real twitter 2.0

I’ve been seeing YouTube adverts for AWS Principal Engineers so I guess Amazon are trying to pick some of the flotsam or jetsam up.

Elon is an idiot like all the tech billionaires, he just use his money to make what he own is his (Tesla for instance was not his creation).

What does this even mean? Such a broad sweeping statement just seems pretty pointless.

Feels like the going opinion on Twitter these days. All tech billionares are "stupid", "idiot", etc.

Sure, they might not be nice people, but stupid? Nope

Elon actually is really stupid and full of shit though.

He's definitely full of shit and over estimates his knowledge, but he's hardly stupid.

He's been very successful and my understanding is he didn't have the same incredibly wealthy background that someone like say Bezos started with. Happy to be wrong about that though.

Not to over-nuance what are short forum posts but there are many types of "smart".

He's good at raising money and instilling confidence with investors. Thats it.

He didn't persnally create anything at Paypal or Tesla, nor did he provide strategic oversight. What he did do is sell ideas for money, which he is very good at.

didn't have the same incredibly wealthy background that someone like say Bezos started with.

Wut? I genuinely thought Bezos was born into poverty and was raised by his teenage single Mum! Are you sure you're not mixing him up with Bill Gates, who had a pretty solid financial helping hand from rich parents...

Maybe I'm biased*, but I have a lot of appreciation for good sales people.

*not in sales but for a good portion of my working life I've worked closely with them.

His family owned a diamond mine. Guy had cash.

I seem to be a rare person were I'm neither fanboi at the church of Elon or one of those looking to burn him at the stake.

They all had money.

Bill Gates big win was his mum worked in Stanford(?) library/lab so he had unfettered access to a PC for weeks on end vs CS majors who had a couple hours a week.

In fairness to the Bezos family they do give a huge amount of money to charity.

Odd then that Jeff has turned out to be such a tight cunt despite making such vast wealth.

Jeff's maternal grandfather was Lawrence Preston Gise, a regional director of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) in Albuquerque.

Elon's father, Errol Musk, is a South African electromechanical engineer, pilot, sailor, consultant, and property developer, who was a half-owner of a Zambian emerald mine near Lake Tanganyika

Doesn't seem like either of them had to climb out of a gutter...

I'm not too fussed about him. Mainly find the whole thing fascinating.

Bezos I do massively dislike however. Mainly because of the seemingly unnecessarily low workers rights.

His family owned a diamond mine.

This is the problem with the internet, hating on successful people without the facts.

It was only an emerald mine.

And his dad only owned half of it.

facts don't car about your feelings

Doesn't seem like either of them had to climb out of a gutter...

I think you might be under the mistaken impression that being a regional director to a US agency in the 1970s was a big money job.

Bill Gates big win was his mum worked in Stanford(?) library/lab so he had unfettered access to a PC for weeks on end vs CS majors who had a couple hours a week.

Just occured to me that this was how I ended up in my career.

My Mum was a teacher at Forest Hill Boys School and had access to a computer in the mid 1980s. I taught myself to code on it in 1987 while waiting for my Mum to finish work in the evenings. I was 7 at the time.

Didn't get my own computer until the early 90s, when one of my father's colleagues gifted us an old Amstrad.

Apparently he was one of the biggest land owners in Texas.
Bezos parents invested 250 grand into Amazon in the first year of business...

Apparently he was one of the biggest land owners in Texas.

I read that his grandfather owned a 25,000 acre ranch in Texas that Bezos later purchased and increased to 250k acres, which makes it about barely in the top ten ranches in Texas in 2022.

I did not know this.

Anyway, my opinion of him growing up in poverty was based on his parents ages and the fact that his Mum had to quit day time High School (she was 17) to raise him. Shows I shouldnt make assumptinos really.

That's very cool!
