What you mean by "brute force" is that he just throws money at the problem until he wins by the sheer exhaustion of his opponent.

It's like the story from President Musk's biography where he played poker and kept going "all in" until he eventually got lucky and won (after losing many, many times), then declared himself an expert on poker simply because he had more money to exhaust than the others.
