That's not at all what he said, and nothing you've said answers my question -- why is Jeff Bezos in particular "very very important"?

Jeff Bezos isn't necessarily more important than other people that also invest in impactful things, but he is the wealthiest person in the world and invests in speculative things that impact how the world works, which is kind of a big deal.

Also, the parent comment did say that the projects are important, not Jeff Bezos. I was just talking about the interaction of wealthy investors and their side projects, which is what this thread is about.

> you're not interested in the investments of someone who buys

Someone is a person, not multiple projects.

And no, his specific investment on any individual project isn't that particularly interesting.

Your quote very clearly says "in the investments of"

Investments is clearly and completely unambiguously the subject of "interested in" that sentence.

"of someone" is the qualifier, which is unambiguously specific to the person.
