    I wish the news outlet would just stop giving him attention for being a fucking idiot. He’s farming idiocy for exposure and staying relevant at this point.

      Yeah, but sometimes it’s fun to point and laugh at an idiot who thinks he’s a genius.

        …you do realize that he wants you to point and laugh at him, right? As much as I think that man is an idiot only held aloft by being able to buy his way into companies that are successful without him (and despite him for a time), he’s smart enough to know how to manipulate the average internet user to spread his dumb bullshit around so it pulls in other dumbasses who will lap up whatever turd he drops today.

          He gets extremely defensive for someone who wants to be pointed and laughed at.

          I think you’ve got him wrong. He’s a maladjusted sociopathic nerd who desperately needs validation (of his masculinity and genius, primarily).

      I was listening to a Hard Fork, the NYT tech podcast and they made a good point. Billionaires like him can have anything they want, so they have nothing else to chase for other than the high of people reacting to their antics.
