From Zoom Gloom to AI Boom

Masayoshi Son, SoftBank’s enigmatic CEO, went from staring at his “ugly” Zoom reflection to plotting a grand comeback. After Vision Fund’s WeWork debacle, Son vanished from public view.

But behind the scenes, he was scheming his next big move.

Betting the Bank on AI

SoftBank’s new strategy? All in on AI. The gamble seems to be paying off, Arm’s successful IPO breathing new life into Son’s empire. It’s a classic Son move – high risk, potentially higher reward.

Son’s not your average CEO. He reportedly brushed off comparisons to Gates and Zuckerberg, preferring Napoleon and Genghis Khan. “I am building an empire,” he declared. It’s this grand vision that’s fueling SoftBank’s resurgence.
