    This simply isn’t true. He became a mega millionaire by grifting Compaq. He became a billionaire when Peter Thiel forced him out of control of PayPal to save the company.

      So. He became a billionaire by grifts and government handouts increased it. And likely wouldn’t have had the ears of those he grifted without already having $$.

        Nah, there’s a key distinction you’re missing. There’s a skill to the grift, but not to failing upwards against your best efforts.
