I’ve worked in venture-backed companies my whole career. I’ve even started two and failed one. I believe in capitalism.
But watching middle-class folks celebrate the world’s first trillionaire is the clearest sign we’ve lost the plot.
That’s not a milestone we should celebrate. That’s one person holding more economic leverage than entire nations of people. Nobody should have that many resources while kids starve. If you disagree, you’ve lost the plot.
Nothing about this is good for anyone.
