It's funny how this guy, as most rich business types, thinks he actually knows everything, and he's an expert in all domains. What the hell does he know about war? He's not a general or admiral or something. Of course he imagines being CEO of a large company is the same thing, but it's really not.

Something to keep in mind when reading his other pronouncements.

Palmer Luckey got quite successful with Anduril even though he wasn't that much a business man in the past, but was successful as engineer [0]

I think war in ukraine shows that hord of very cheap sea drones can even thread a fleet of warships.

Even successful businessmen don't even know that much about building and running a business as so few of them are able to replicate a prior success and end up pursuing a career of "passive investors".

I hate the term "serial entrepreneur". You don't call someone who makes one breakfast "chef", and if they make several breakfasts "serial chef". If you are qualified for something, you can do it any number of times.

Betrays the reality of them being "serial lottery winners".
