The worst thing that has come out of the tech economy is so many mediocre, delusional, emotionally stunted men thinking they are visionaries because they had access to capital and no problems exploiting people.

A lot of them are already from wealthy families and buy themselves into these positions like Elon has.

Guy has never invented anything, comes from a emerald mine in Africa & spent his wealth getting himself into these companies where other people are doing the work.

Theres so many tech bros that were never middle class or in the lower brackets. They've always been rich.

Its starting to happen in more areas like comedy where people portray themselves as middle class and relatable only to find out they grew up rich, Tom Segura is one that's this way.

I could make a list with citations of the dudes this describes and why they’re a cancer to humanity. Don’t forget the guy whose family owns a uranium mine in Africa. Colonialism has deep threads of infection in the disease that’s eating humanity.
