    > O'Leary

    People with 15, 20, 25 years in the datacenter and telecom industry also think O'Leary is a joke. He has no previous legitimate experience in the sector to be making high budget decisions on anything.

    There's no need for any CCP involvement or foreign agents to clown on O'Leary.

    The fact that he's successfully raising some large amount of capital to execute his projects says more about how desperate some of the sources of funding are to invest in any "hyperscale" datacenter project. Or how gullible they are.

        I don't think we do this much on HN but for those who don't know, it is an internet meme from Shark Tank, which O'Leary is part of. But the line is actually from Barbara.

          Apologies if I violated some rule. Thank you for the correction.

            I don't think you did, it seemed it was more an explanation of the context for other readers.
