    A scammer who used his money he made through scamming to become CEO, and then to scam even more:

    • Scams his employees by paying too little or not at all

    • Scams his money lenders by breaking their investment

    • Scams his customers by asking premium prices for underperforming products

    • Scams governments out of funding

    • Scams new tech startups by suing them in order to be called a founder

    • Scams every person in every country his companies operate in by not paying the taxes he is owed

      I wasn’t talking about Twitter.

      SpaceX launched 60% of three global space launch market, I would say that’s pretty damn important. Also, Starlink.

      In any case, it’s obviously the people who work at these companies that are doing the work, not Mr muskrat.

    Are you going to tell us next that cigarette companies didn’t scam the public when they knew that their products caused cancer and didn’t reveal it because Phillip-Morris was so valuable?

    How about Theranos? At peak it was worth $9 billion. Not a scam, right?

    I think you meant “least valuable”, because they’re garbage.

    I want downvotes too, you know.
