Facebook once bought an Israeli VPN app for $120 million.

• Bought WhatsApp for $19 billion.
• Cloned Snapchat before it became popular.
🧵 Image In 2013, Facebook bought an Israeli startup, Onavo VPN, for $120 million.

Onavo looked like a normal VPN.

He’s spent his life with migrants, not megachurches.

John D. Rockefeller is the richest man in American history.

But his path to power was bloody and ruthless.

He crushed competitors, swallowed suppliers, and built an empire that controlled 90% of America's oil by 1900.

This is his strategy—move by move:🧵 Image In 1859, America struck oil.

Everyone rushed in.

Wildcatters. Refiners. Railroads. Chaos.

Rockefeller looked at that mess and saw something no one else did:

"The man who controls the refining… controls the industry."
