“It’s okay actually because he always talks like this” is one of the weirdest arguments in this thread.
Why can’t we call out bad behavior just because it comes from a specific person?Bad behavior is bad behavior. Being consistent about being bad doesn’t make it good. I don’t understand why anything thinks this is okay just because it comes from a specific personality.

He’s dangling $1.2 billion dollars in front of people to get them to do his bidding with this construction. I really don’t understand how you think that’s less of an incentive than giving someone a paycheck a fraction of that magnitude.
His way of saying "You'd better be nice to me"?

This and more recent articles mention the 200M out of 1.2B.
If he did invest in yes men, he would be broke, because they say yes all the time.
