It's incredible how tech billionaires (I'm thinking specifically of Huang and Altman at the moment, but this probably applies to all of them) just say the wildest shit as if it's not wild shit, and presumably it's because they surround themselves with people who will never say, "Um, Boss, that is some wild shit you just said, and you probably shouldn't say that out loud in public."
SO MUCH of tech billionaires saying the wildest shit is because that's what the public wants, sadly. It's so important to keep that in mind.
They say the wildest shit because that's what gets them headlines. They get rewarded by the public for saying shit, so they say more of it.
It doesn't mean they believe it or want to be saying it. It means we, collectively, pressure and even pay them to say it.
We want reality TV stars stirring shit, so we tune in whether it's Survivor or CNBC.
