I guess this is what happens when you're a rich idiot surrounded by yes men. You think the most basic, obvious shit is a stroke of genius. He's at that money/power level where there's never anyone around him to stop and say "hold on, that idea is bad and you should feel bad".
i mean, have you seen linkedin? it's still full of people gushing about how musk and bezos are business geniuses for coming up with unheard of, genius ideas like "don't schedule pointless meetings" and "don't invite too many people in one meeting" or whatever.
Truly, they are gods amongst us.
Or even "Yes, somebody already thought of that. That's why we do that, now." No, just "Excellent idea, sir! Truly innovative! I guess that's why you're the boss and we're the peons!"
