Rejected by Tech Giants, Still Broke

I was rejected by Apple. I was rejected by Amazon. I was rejected by Facebook. I was 28 years old and broke. I decided to start my own startup. Now I’m 30 years old and broke.

A social media post jokes about someone being rejected by major technology companies, then starting their own startup. Two years later, the startup has apparently changed nothing financially, making the punchline a self-deprecating joke about entrepreneurship and remaining broke.
