No real need for this to surprise anyone. Nor should it be reported for anything more than what is truly is. It is a way for companies to collude more than is legally allowed while having no "paper trail" to worry about.

For instance, how the major tech companies colluded to keep worker wages lower for their engineering staff.


Tim Cook trying to improve his Nike stock performance I see lol. I find it curious Microsoft’s CEO isn’t listed considering the other Big Tech guys are there
Bill Gates is already in attendance. So it would be a bit weird having the founder of Microsoft there at the same time. Any big Microsoft moves definitely need Bill's blessing so you'd start there.
 
Not sure why they need to make excuses just to have a party get together. Just call it like it is instead of trying to say it's for business, etc. Also, trying to figure out why Oprah is there. She's the one that sticks out from the crowd and isn't tech.
She’s *huge* in the media business, with Disney, Apple (Apple TV+), Amazon (Prime), Youtube, etc represented it makes sense they’d want her there.

She counts as one of the media moguls as mentioned in the post. She's very wealthy, started her own huge network (mostly owned by Warner Bros Discovery, now, according to Wikipedia), and has been a hugely influential dealmaker. She's why Dr. Phil and Dr. Oz are household names (not that that's a good thing, but it's definitely a thing).
 
Yes, billionaires tend to be irresponsible, but it sounds like you’re upset Macrumors ran this article.

No. I even overtly said in a subsequent post that I wasn’t criticizing Mac Rumors at all. Furthermore, I’m not in the least bit “upset.”

I’m happy they did because I had no idea a meetup like this even existed. In my opinion, the reporting of this helps shine a brighter light on the goings on of billionaires that maybe some (like myself) were unaware of. Or if your comment was more on billionaires than Macrumors’ reporting, then disregard. Haha.

Disregarded.

None of these people will hang out and have dinner at Golden Coral or a buffet Chinese dinner restaurant. To them you and I are nothing and just carbon based life forms to feed off on. These people can do so much good but nope.
I don’t know a lot of those names, but from what I’ve seen Bill Gates seems to be trying.
