relatedly, entrepreneurship through acquisition ETA of a small business instead of starting a business (see above)

The article emphasizes that this isn't a "get rich quick" strategy. Finding a business, raising capital, closing the deal, and successfully operating the company involves substantial risk and years of work.

Uh, no. 

LARPing means Live Action Role Playing, and the term is quite old. I'd have figured you'd have known that though, it's a VERY OLD WORD. 

That being said, 'fake it 'til you make it' is also not new as the scammer's motto. We saw this shit spike hard in the 80s. Beef season 2 even promotes it as the only way to get ahead in today's world. It's practically a timeless concept if you are 50 years old or younger, and all that's changed is how it's done not that it's done at all.

People scammed from the very start, famous figures like Thomas Edison did as a patent office worker, but the difference now is the scale of profit vs loss. We've never seen a class divide go so hard, the low end of the Upper Class are the only one who can afford to live Middle Class now. 

If we go even farther back, when there was even less regulation, it must have been even worse, but business has always been on the backs of charismatic pretenders. When it's between five people selling the same product, you will pick the one that left an impression. 

Okay in less words: Are you just saying it takes being fake to get rich if not already rich? 

No duh Sherlock, that's always been true. 

I don’t want to talk with you but I logged in to say most of your unqualified responses sound really uninformed you know?. Furthermore I have never heard of Thomas Edison scamming anyone as a patent office worker. He is known for repeatedly testing filaments for lightbulbs until he got one which worked and is quoted for 90% perspiration, 10% inspiration. Where is the scam in that?

Also did you bother to read the article mentioning LARPing. It didn’t rewrite your playbook, it just borrowed your word.

Edit: So, I read the AI. I have never heard of this stuff and it pales in comparison to his notable inventions. Not to mention you are paranoid and prone to conspiracy theories.

His most notable controversies include allegations of patent theft from inventors like Granville Woods, failing to pay promised bonuses to Nikola Tesla, and attempting to monopolize the early film industry

While (1) is a scam (2) is unrelatedly a path to wealth for some, borrowing from the private equity playbook accessible to individuals 

PS read the articles please, or don’t comment.

Why don’t you write to the journalist and tell him he misappropriated your word LARPing and you want it back.

Ironically it's better and easier for most people to try or keep doing something's hard to make a meager income.
