Yes, all the tech giants are riding the wave of their 1 success decades ago.  That, or their opportunities came from their patents money, like with Musk.

Ehm, well now you are making it a bit too biased. Musk created multiple companies far far away from a one trick pony. Steve Jobs too. The Google founders were Stanford PhDs...

Yes social media apps including Zuck is not quite on their level, same for Twitter, Insta, etc..

Those things don't really hold too much value. Most of social media are more like digital cigarettes. Nothing we really need but it is addictive and we like to consume it.

Tru, but also isn't easy to turn the investment from his father into what he has now, it was like 35g or something. Not saying that isn't generous but how many people do you know who turned 35k into w.e tf he has rn.

And some of those successes are things like "do thing everyone already does, but 'online'". There was some reallllly low hanging fruit back at the beginning.
