I love the idea of billionaires sitting together thinking they are geniuses, ensuring the demise of the entire world with their buffoonery.
Often they just have to be "charismatic", better at lying, better at cheating, less moral, etc.
WeWork was never a good business, seems like he was just a massive narcissist who managed to trick the SoftBank guy (notorious for investing from the gut) into giving him billions.
So if we have a system that rewards ruthlessness, dishonesty, cheating, stealing etc, that's what we get at the top.
