from DCD Zero Downtime: The Bi-Weekly Data Center Show · host DatacenterDynamics

From visionary bets in Yahoo, Alibaba, and Arm, to disastrous gambles on WeWork and Vision Funds, SoftBank's Masayoshi Son has defied both logic and expectations. Self-styled as a modern Genghis Khan, the once richest man in the world has rolled the dice yet again, plowing money into OpenAI and Stargate. What can we learn from his past? We talk to Lionel Barber, author of Gambling Man: The Wild Ride of Japan’s Masayoshi Son.
