Quote by Larry Ellison
Bill Gates wants people to think he's Edison, when he's really Rockefeller. Referring to Gates as the smartest man in America isn't right... wealth isn't the same thing as intelligence.
Summary
This quote criticizes how Bill Gates is often portrayed as a brilliant innovator like Thomas Edison, but suggests that his success is more akin to that of John D. Rockefeller, emphasizing wealth over intelligence. The quote argues that intelligence and wealth are not interchangeable and that labeling Gates as the smartest man in America is an inaccurate representation of his achievements.
