Or that's a sign he's stupid and overconfident

This is 2025, 40 years after apple mainstreamed the silicon valley "scam investors until you make it" approach.

Still better than a merchant that won't even use what they sell.

If the CEO of Ford drives a Porsche instead of a Ford you view that as a ding for Ford?

[–] mo_lave@reddthat.com 11 points 1 day ago

Not necessarily 'ding' them, but it would be nice if the Ford CEO uses a Ford when going to work. If said CEO goes out of their way to not use a Ford, then that's a red flag.

Ford himself took criticism for this. His answer was, if I don't drive other companies' cars, how do I make sure mine are better!
