Because he’s a very talented entrepreneur and that’s who investors want to bet on

He turned $22 billion in funding into $4 billion valuation. That doesn't take much talent lol.

right, everyone can build one of the world's best-known brands and become a billionaire. super easy, no talent needed.

Some talent is needed to convince people to fund you. Little or no talent is needed to set money on fire. Politicians do that all the time.

Isn't he best known for lighting many billions of SoftBank's dollars on fire? What criteria or evidence are going by when you describe him as "talented"?

Again, genuinely trying to understand, here.

just watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dgp-CM-gQik&feature=youtu.be

the guy is an absolute genius, master of charisma and communication, one of the best speakers i've ever seen. he calmly and easily responds to every difficult question ARS throws at him. i aspire to learn from him and would love to spend time with him.

of course people will give him much more capital.
