Is it just me or is Elmo now just announcing random shit and hoping that by magic it just instantly exists?
Other than paying much smarter, more skilled, and generally better people to do stuff and take credit for their work, throwing out random shit and demanding that others make it happen is literally ALL he's done professionally since he made a Space Invaders clone as a kid. That and self-promoting.
He's the richest man in the world and also the perfect example of the fact that the ultra-rich don't become ultra-rich because they're smarter or more talented or because they just work really hard.
Being rich already; ruthless opportunism at the cost of the health, happiness, and often lives of others; and shamelessly relentless propaganda is how billionaires are made.
