you'll take the word of a man who routinely sues ex-employees who criticize his companies?
He admits himself that he's a "mixed bag". Which is of course true of all of us.
Because people can be both honest and dishonest about different things or at different times. No one is perfectly honest and even the worst person is probably honest some of the time.
> ...considering his status as the world's richest man makes me think he should be held to a much higher standard
This makes sense in some ways and absolutely none at all in other ways. The richest man should be judged harshly for displaying greed, for example, but not for making mistakes that money doesn't help prevent.
Value wise his other states goals would be far better advanced if he used that money to speed them along instead of buying Twitter.
