    Guy who never worked hard in his life tries to tell other people to work hard.

    Yes sometimes these guys (CEOs) do longer hours, but it consits of eating dinner with other Cs, looking at presentations (which they cant judge because they generally have no idea how the actual business runs), sitting in meeting, flying to other meetings and pretending to look at some company numbers and of course having the very very high responsibility that they keep talking about that they actually never ever have.

    Does this mean they should make x50 or more than the average worker ? You judge that.

    Whats weird is how bad reddit works in a basic web browser, which is where the app started.

    Has this guy got his Texas harem started yet? Seems like he’s speed running the Musk Meltdown playbook.

    It’s always funny seeing these silicon valley startups have essentially zero retained employees and engineers except the CEO.

    All money machines built on the backs of long gone engineers that only exist because they’ve cornered their share of the oligopoly market.

      Hey you have to understand that these CEOs work 2000 hours weeks, doing work like golfing, riding yachts, and having extravagant dinners, while you lazy peasants are doing things like raising your kids, buying groceries, and sleeping.
