cargo cult - where someone sees bounty falling from the sky and then imitates the behavior without understanding it. Supposedly this happened in New Guinea during WWII where people saw parachutes of food and weapons coming down after the soldiers laid out marker panels. So they laid out marker panels in a ritual. Also this happened in 2019 when companies were constructed without understanding what was required to actually have a business.
Funny enough, the founders who are cargo-culting are finding monetary success (Neumann will still be rich when the dust settles, although I'm not suggesting he got all that money out of WeWork by accident). It's the investors who will find out that just making it look like you are investing in a world-changing tech company isn't enough to make it rain.
