"I will say that people in Silicon Valley really do want to change the world, but they want to change the world from one in which they're poor to one in which they're rich. They'll try to say they're trying to save the planet or change the world of media, or what have you, but people don't come to Silicon Valley because they want to live in poverty knowing they contributed to the betterment of humanity. People come to Silicon Valley because they think they can do that and make a bundle at the same time."
