Receive a medal "I won at capitalism", keep let's say 100 million, give the rest away as tax and be disqualified from the game forever.
Totally, totally no doubt.
But first, they should give me a ride in their mig-29. Zoooom!
I haven’t dug deep into this dude, but I was told by somebody I trust that he’s not an entrepreneur…but rather was a kid with access to wealth who was “smart” enough to buy up a bunch of companies.
His title of “entrepreneur” is myth making…not unlike Elon Musk, and a lot like Kevin O’Leary: He didn’t invent any technology or concepts…his strength was exploiting a generation who didn’t understand technology. Once his myth was in motion, inertia did the rest. Simply being young when he started did all the heavy lifting…and I guess Trump also got romanced.
It really bothers me that being selfish and getting lucky - and most of all having money - is what we call an entrepreneur. The word used to be reserved for people who actually put sweat equity into a novel concept.

Naw, that was just the hype.
if daddy gave me several hundred million dollars and a copy of the intelligent investor id also be a " self made billionaire entrepeneur "
Tax the rich. And if that fails, eat them.
Nobody should have a personal wealth over 10 million dollars
No company should have a net worth over 1 billion dollars
Hard cap that shit
Same with power. Nobody should have "all" the power of a country.
Power and money MUST be hard limited
Off with his head!

I can't wait to hear the first cancellations of amazing feats, like the Voyager probes or something
They’ve already massively cut off funding for public outreach, and a lot of firings across the board. This administration has absolutely fucked over NASA already.
At least he was in space. And farther away than most.
Honestly NASA has had worse administrators over the years, at least isaacman seems to care about the success of the agency. If nothing else, we can say for certain that this is a guy who loves everything about space, so I expect he'll do his best.
