OP has posted (and re-posted) about Bluesky about 40 times in the last 48 hours. I'm down voting every single one. Quit shilling for billionaires.
What billionaire?

They've invested millions and they wouldn't unless they expected a significant return. The only way to get a return on a social media investment is either ads or subscriptions via enshittifying it just enough to get people to pay. bluesky is destined to be trash.
You were asked a direct and simple question.
And I answered it? There are multiple wealthy people involved. Do you expect the full name, address, and social security number of every individual? I don't care to do all that research for you. My point still stands, Bluesky's devs are in debt (via investments) to wealthy people who will want to extract value (money) from it. Enshittification is inevitable.
What billionaire? You made the claim. It seems trivial to produce a name, yeah?
This is what it looks like when a stubborn person makes a small mistake and would rather torpedo the whole argument than make a concession. It's so common and so disappointing.
