They made it a hot line, he made it a hot song:yeshrug:

Same thing Zuckerberg did with fb
Same thing bill gates did with Microsoft
Same thing Steve Jobs did with Apple
Etc


Gates & Jobs actually CREATED those companies they didn’t cut out the people who did create them or pay them off to take charge of said companies.

Zuckerberg also created Facebook; what was ever in question was if the original “idea” of Facebook was lifted or taken from those twins who wanted to create a Harvard specific social media site. Zuckerberg never utilized any of the code or programming that the twins were using; at best the comparison would have been the twins were working on Blimpies and Zuckerberg created Subway.

Nah. Zuckerberg didn’t steal sh1t. Everyone’s got ideas. It’s the person who has the ability to bring those ideas to life that deserves credit. The winkleblahblah brothers had an idea for something and didn’t have the programming skills to implement it. Mark did. He wrote all the code. It’s like thinking up flying cars and someone goes and builds one. Then u wanna proclaim it was your idea. Like wtf.

The two brothers were 2 stupid hicks who never would've become successful without him, they got the equivalent of $30m with the buyout

Which is pennies compared to what McDonald’s is worth today. Brothers should have negotiated points for life. fukk Kroc. Religious nut job who is probably responsible for obesity in the black community

he didn't steal in the traditional sense it's pretty similar to what Elon did with Tesla though when you think about it.
Elon was "nicer" about it though

Yea Kroc is more akin to musk. A moocher who has the capital and business sense to finesse
