Elon Musk is not your tech saviour, he is not doing what he's doing to bring humanity into a new age of enlightenment, he is doing what he's doing to set himself up as a king and drag the rest of humanity back into serfdom. Look at what the man says and does, not at what you believe he's doing in the most ideal of circumstances, and if you want to defend that, defend a man who's declared he can coup whoever he wants and has made it clear he has little respect for the wellbeing of actual human beings, by all means do so.

WeWork was billions in debt, losing $219,000 an hour at one point, major assets were not owned by the company and it was peeing away money on unrelated vanity projects like a rich person's idea of school. A company losing money, unlikely to ever make money with a business model anyone can replicate is not worth billions, it's just the modern equivalent of a salted goldmine, dressed up and hyped up then sold to rubes by a charismatic huckster, and Quibi, like wework is just another of those fresh off the production line.
It's not Hollywood, a lot of silicon valley projects are just bad ideas, built on the notion of breaking laws and/or dumping money in a deep, deep hole until the hole is close enough to half filled that they can float it on the stock market and sell it on to the next sucker.
It's just another in a long line of great ideas from the culture that thought renting desks was an idea worth billions.
