They hired Nikesh Arora who was let go just as swiftly as they hired him.
As President & Chief Operating Officer of SoftBank Corp.
Arora received over $200 million in compensation over the
last two years" while at the head of Softbank's operations.
This pay package made him world's highest paid executive.[1]
Is there an exhaustive read somewhere, on all of this?

300 year plan. No wonder they fell for WeWork. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21297789 Adam Neumann: “It’s important that one day, maybe in 100 years, maybe in 300 years, a great-great-granddaughter of mine will walk into that room and say, ‘Hey, you don’t know me; I actually control the place. The way you’re acting is not how we built it,'” he said."

I'm impressed you actually made it that far. I stopped reading when they translated all the cause of death statistics into loneliness.
People can die from loneliness/depression. They just give up and then their health deteriorates. Yes it's not the loneliness that kills you, it is some organ(s) failing, but the root cause is loneliness/giving up.
