        Is he actually good at it or are guys who want to hang out with a billionaire saying he’s good at it?

      +1 to this, I feel like having a ton of money is what corrupts leadership, not necessarily their technical background.

      Maybe Spez and Zuck haven’t changed much, but I feel like some others started out as relatively reasonable people who were also technically brilliant, but eventually their companies started doing shitty things and they are both aware and apparently unwilling to stop it.

      Perhaps corruption in the Soviet Union is a good example of how even people from normal hard working backgrounds (i.e. not billionaires who have never worked a day in their life) can still be corrupted by power and a lack of accountability.
