WeWork is so fascinating to me because unlike Theranos, their base concept was feasible and made sense. Co-working spaces are honestly rather boring and not all that "revolutionary" and then they just piled on this idiotic language and toxic startup culture because it's not enough to be a normal company.

The vanity of these tech bros is such that any good idea they have is eventually cancelled out or completely undermined by their sociopathic control freak god-complex Ayn Rand-worshipping egoistic impulses.
Every. Single. One. Of. Them.
There are no exceptions.

Note: I use "tech bros" as shorthand for any of these grifters, who've used venture capital and then the stock market, to jump from good idea to overweening overwhelming stupidity and self-enrichment. So Elizabeth Holmes and this guy, are "tech bros" even though their work was in medical equipment and real estate, respectively.

it's all such a circle-jerk rush to pile onto the next big startup, even if its concept makes no damn sense.

They are absolutely iconic. There’s a video Bloomberg news did with a woman just squeezing the little juice bag and that lives rent free in my head

Look, if you give me a chance, I’m sure I can spend $47 billion in 6 weeks. I’d love to try!
