        Do they, though?

        Scientists drive innovation, engineers drive innovation

        Billionaires just throw money around

        Tax billionaires until their fortune is at a max of say, 10 million dollars. Use those trillions in tax revenue to fund a wife range of non profit orgs that will fund companies to improve innovation.

        Sounds like a much better solution than the current timeline

          I know he also wasted a lot of money (software side of metaverse), but he also put a lot of R&D into virtual reality headsets, which he will continue to develop.

              You’re saying the original Oculus is a better performing product than its modern counterpart? I don’t think you’re really saying that, so why won’t you be clear in what you’re actually saying instead of being vague and pretending you’re making such a smart and perceptive comment.

              Perhaps you’re talking about his business practices or his work ethic that you don’t agree on. Say something that doesn’t sound ridiculously stupid, and in such a manner that I can ACTUALLY understand what the fuck you’re talking about.

        I drive more innovation at my workplace than my C suites. The only thing they can drive is a pickup truck that doesn’t get anything put into the bed.

    Trump is gathering literally the worst people in the world. And, in this case, a robot.

    Well, you don’t get to be a billionaire and also have principles. Everyone must bow and kiss the ring.

    Can we wait until all the assholes are gathered together around Trump, then quietly lock the door from the outside, turn off their internet and get on with life?

      I still hope for an one way ticket to Mars on starship. These brilliant people should be the first to have that privilege.

      That would be the best reality show in the whole of the universe. How I’d love to see the drama, relationships and power dynamics that form. Who gets it in their butt first, who starts dividing the rooms, who hides the salt, etc.

    He’s signing up for a piece of the action. It’s up to us to make sure that’s what he gets.

    I assume he’s just lobbying for government intervention/regulation to stifle foreign social media growth to buoy Meta’s worth
