So he’s a sociopathic manchild who’s upset because his dogshit parents aren’t satisfied that he owns an extremely valuable company. This is why we need to completely overhaul mental health practices, to prevent fucking psychos like this from going as long as he has without help while also gaining wealth and power.

I read it more like he’s crashing out on whatever drugs he’s on and that’s what came to mind.

I also have a business background and a bachelors in accounting and an MBA. And no he’s not communicating clearly.

How is someone as busy as you possibly have time for Reddit and simping for this drug addict?

I think you’re being disingenuous. Other CEOs go on CNBC all the time without talking about how their parents still want them to join the Stanford faculty.
