This isn't the 1%, this is the 1/100 of 1%. There are plenty of regular business people in the 1%, as you can be there if prudent, but these guys that buy their way into various places and use money to make money, and of course, use that to upset all traditional practices that stave off the deleterious effects of money, are another breed all together.

He will probably help Apple to create the tech inside our bodies that Jony Ive was talking about in his latest interview. That's great. Cyberpunk, here you come. It's a good move for Apple to work with a company that's been sued and paid billions for fines because they lie, corrupt and make harmful products. If they want to pair with someone truly great they should work with Pfizer, as they are the best at this practices. Just this year J&J $2 billion fine and Pfizer well over $2 billion. This stinks big time.

I see Apple's health tech improving beyond the biometric sensors in the Apple Watch like the ECG.

Only reason I bought that device is because of the ECG. Prior to that feature I saw the Apple Watch as a way to fund Apple's future health sensor wearables.
