He's literally the richest man in the world, what?

So, what is it that you are trying to say that you feel the parent comment was wrong about?
That it's just luck you win 50 dice rolls in a row, calling them each time. Maybe he knows something you don't, if you can't see it. Pretty clearly beyond luck at this point.

It's like a weird defense mechanism because you're jealous. "He's just a crypto bro."

Pretty hilarious.

What I find hilarious is people's inability to grasp probability and sample sizes.

I don't think he won 50 dice rolls in a row, not remotely close actually. The first win was the time and place he was born into, his father had a stake at an emerald mine and he was right on cue for the dot com era, he had Canadian citizenship by birth, and his immigration to the US was trivial, he had the connections and the money.

One does not need 50 dice rolls to get there; a single roll of the dice has insane consequences, ask all the people from China or India playing the visa and green-card lottery because they happened to be born in China or India.

I never said he's just a crypto-bro either, you are just in denial. I said he's some guy who played crypto-bros and investment bros like a fiddle. He sold a brand, is currently facing market manipulation and insider trading investigations [1], and pumped a crypto coin (ie something totally unregulated). He had the money in the first place in there, and he had the influence. If you have no morality, you need to be a moron not to do that given that you can do it.

I bet you won just as many dice rolls and you're no where near his success.. lol

How did he find success with Paypal? What about before that?

>you're no where near his success

@PartiallyTyped you do not have billions of dollars, your opinion has been invalidated ahaha

who said that?! goahead and have an opinion about the NFL armchair quarterback, but we both know who is the better quarterback (CEO)
I mean you are replying to me as I am the person who made the parent comment, btw he already replied to this comment, I just want to say that I have big doubts that he is jealous of not being Elon Musk, he has a lot of money but he is insufferable, he is divorced three times and right now I don't think he has a partner, I don't see any reasonable person who could envy him.
Nope was replying to you, realizing you weren't OP

> I don't see any reasonable person who could envy him.

OK!

Do you envy him? Ahah You seem surprised.
Not really envy? I am extremely impressed. Most people I feel are jealous of billionaires, I certainly don't want that kind of stress.

Do I care that Turing was gay? No, I don't typically care about these giant men's personal lives as long as they're not insanely evil or something.

JFK and Musk being womanizers? Meh. Cool guys, for the most part, imo.
