What if there isn’t another 10x?

Very nice read. I particularly love this sentence:

> In the tech industry we’re constantly repudiated that growth is the prime value of business.

ESL here, so bear with me. Is this the right use of "repudiated"? The definition for "repudiate" is:

"refuse to accept or be associated with: she has repudiated policies associated with previous party leaders."

I can't find a logical link between this definition and the sentence in this post.
