Agreed. Anyone can create a company which raises a ton of money and feeds 90% of it back to itself as revenue.

I don't think that anyone can do this, at all. I think there's a totally different skillset than it takes to actually run a business than to get money from VCs, and by stripping away the need for that skillset, Adam Neumann really perfected his VC grift game. That doesn't mean that he wasn't exceptionally skilled at it.
