Is the only wealth represented in money? If that was the case than the vast majority of these people could have wrapped it up and left the game years ago.
Power is the game.
- senordevnyc 9d agoThis explains nothing. Money buys a lot of power, and he could have easily just had both.
- ofjcihen 9d agoNah, money doesn’t buy ALL power. Only power of a certain kind (read ownership of a system that many rely on) can’t be bought.
- senordevnyc 9d agoAgain, this misses the point. Why did he turn down an equity stake that likely would have been worth hundreds of billions? It's not like it would have jeopardized the power you're talking about.
- ofjcihen 9d agoIf anything that proves the point. The power wasn’t in the money (which he already had plenty of, as you say).
