I have a couple of acquaintances that are PayPal Mafia and what I've put together from them and anecdotes around the Valley is pretty much spot on what you've got here. He's not special. Life just had a course that worked out for his douche ass.
So id wager he is an asset of the intel community.
He’s pretty highly valued by the incel community too
I^2^
Lmao didnt see this when I wrote the same under my sibling comment a second ago. 100%
I'd typically respond "aren't they all?" But the MF has more money than God. I really don't know what to make of him. I think he's just a legitimate piece of shit incel king edge lord who lost the thread and doesn't know he's no longer just a troll. Maybe the daddy issues are so bad he cant see his own power. Why else act like this?
He grew up as a child of an emrald miner in South Africa under the aparthied regieme.
Super rich kid in a historically notoriiously dehumanizing society.
Its like perfect conditions for a narcisistic mental disorder.
So im not really suprised by his bizzare conservative appeals against poor people, employees, regulators and the like.
Comic books need villains too.
Nailed it. They always think they're the victim hero saving us from ourselves. Who needs Kang and Doc Oc when you have jabronis like this guy and orangeman
