Valuations on anything that hasn't IPO'd are complete horseshit and Wu should know better. I know he doesn't, but even just through Frank he should know its all horseshit.
When you see this horseshit "COMPANY VALUED AT 500 BILLION AFTER INVESTMENT" it has zero basis in actual reality.
Lets say I've got a company, its not publicly traded but I need money, so I go looking for investors. I say to the investor "I'll give you 20% rights to my business for $1 million dollars". This would make my company 'valued' at 5 million dollars (100/20 = 5, times 1 million). No one else has invested, its possible no one else will invest.
What this doesn't take into account is that they aren't just buying 20% of the business, there are usually provisions that say something to the tune of "If this goes tits up, I get all assets until my investment is paid back. If you sell the business, I get my $1 million back before anyone else sees a dime."
Valuations in Tech companies are often completely fucking stupid because of the number of tech companies that simply burn cash and never turn a profit - they are bought out or sold before they do, very rarely do they ever hit their valuation.
In the case of of discord, they are now valued 2.05 billion, but that's based off raising $150 million in funding (having previously raised 130 million). This means that only 1/8th of the "valuation" has actually been turned into cash.
What you often see with these big valuations is one large company (or a group of large companies) seeing something in the other company's Intellectual Property they like, and figure its worth a cut of pie and the opportunity to take the whole thing and develop themselves (or sell the IP to another company to develop). Its often used to hedge bets and to be in a better position for a buyout should the product be viable.
In the discord case, its a venture capital firm investing in Discord based on their new Discord Store. This is a hedged bet to see if Discord becomes the next Steam, and its not a terrible one, Discord has a huge userbase, and with more and more Multiplayer and Co-op games coming out, they can leverage the user base and social connections to get people to buy games their friends have, and more easily connect people who have the same multiplayer game.
$150 million sounds like a lot, but for these folks, its about the equivalent of buying a lottery ticket

Seriously, how pathetic is it that going to nerd summer camp is literally her greatest achievement in 40 years on earth.

How much more pathetic is it that lies about nerd summer camp are his greatest achievements in 41-plus years on Earth?

The constant repetition of the space camp thing is so strange. What if Brianna tried to be an astronaut next? I'm all for it! Shoot for the stars Bri Bri!

I'm all for it too, especially if she tries to "disrupt" the space industry by building her own rocket.
You can do it, BriBri. The high frontier awaits, all you need is your 3D printer and some scrap iron.

I feel like it may be due to the part about being the captain being true and thus one of the only "accomplishments" John has in his sad life.

A nearly 40 year old man with his dick lopped off can only cite what probably amounted to pure RNG selection (or possibly bribery from, y'know, rich as fuck parents) thirty years ago as an accomplishment.
What's even funnier is that if records dating back that far even still exist, Brianna Flynt is not going to be found in those records. So, technically, no, Brianna Wu didn't even go to NASA camp, some guy named John Walker Flynt who has no association with Brianna Wu whatsoever conspicuously went in Bribri's place.
Imagine that.

Poor John Walker Flynt. His cock buried in a shallow grave. And some giant towering ghoul with a snarl on its face has stolen all his past achievements.

Shoutout to all my niggas at /r/thathappened.
Even if we take her shit at face value, it she can only have been talking about Christmas 2006, 'cos by 2007 she already had her claws well in to Frank. So she'd then endured this horrible ordeal of having to have a job for a whole three months, October through December. How terrible. How this story jibes with her previously having said she worked for Gamestop when Twilight Princess came out (Nov. 2006) I can't imagine. Does Gamespot open on Christmas day now?

Borrowing money to get gas to get to work for a minimum wage job.
Er...given gas is maybe $50 if you're driving a decent car with a moderate fuel tank, if Wu couldn't afford fucking gas for two weeks then how the fuck did Wu even support themselves with things like rent, food, etc.? All this story suggests is that Wu was near homeless (which in of itself is hilarious given the endless stories of being spoiled as some adopted born-female who was already some kind of tech god by getting Japanese development-only consoles that the west didn't even know existed at the time) and couldn't budget for shit. The latter part of course always having been true but Wu makes it sound like they were living in the worst of the Great Depression when people literally couldn't afford shoes for their children.

Is John referring to that time he worked for Ebeneezer Scrooge, right before he had his Tiny Tim surgically removed?

This is just yet more completely made up John shit. So far as I know, the only paid job this fraud ever had was GameStop and unless he literally had Ebenezer fucking Scrooge as boss nobody would do that shit.
