It's funny because he spent so much money on hair and clothing stylists, jewellery, BJJ coaching, surfing lessons , really made an effort to come across as "cool" and the end result is...you cannot fake who you are, and your actions are what define you and make up your character, he is prime example of that. He cannot escape who he is.

One of the best CEOs in the world with about 20 years of experience at age 40? And also founded the company?

He’s doing pretty good. And if you’re talking about “image” he is a millennial archetype.

I’m a Millennial and I’m no lizardman, thank you very much.

I wouldn't say he's one of the best CEOs. He's been "successful" by - selling an unhealthy addictive product - burying research on its mental health impact on children - engaging in anticompetitive behavior

Oh yeah, add stealing the original idea for facebook from the Winklevoss twins. I'll take being a loser if that's what it takes.

It's not about the harm you do, it's about the billions you have. But you seem to have a moral compass, you wouldn't understand ;-)

What courage and integrity is being demonstrated here?

Yes he's rich and influential and blah blah blah blah blah and he's also AN ENORMOUS FUCKING DORK with the intellectual depth of a half-empty bottle of salad dressing. For all his money I'd rather be me than him.

Eh, I wouldn't want to have a beer with him or leave my dog with him. He's doing well financially but that's about it.
