With the recent exposure of IRL as a fraud (and keeping in mind WeWork,Greensill etc) I’m wondering if there’s a reason why Son keeps throwing his money at the worst possible companies. Outside of Alibaba (which happened before the vision fund) I believe none of them have been successful. Why do you think that is?
A fool and his money are easily parted. Only logical explanation I can think of. Otherwise, why would he give Adam Neumann <i>another</i> billion after WeWork blew up so spectacularly?
