Moonshots with Peter Diamandis

I'd rather parameterize the success of an entrepreneur by, say, return on investment or something like that versus some arbitrary, like, what is $2 trillion in the early 2030s even going to mean?

Moonshots with Peter Diamandis

You could probably build a $2 trillion company before breakfast in the early 2030s.

So let me try to construe the question in a way that actually PDoom is ill-defined.

Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
Google's Record Quarter, the White House Intervenes, and GPT 5.5 Silently Matches Mythos | EP 254
