If I recall correctly, there was a reported incident of him taking an employee's personal iphone during a meeting and smashing it. While it's understandable that a CEO might be upset that an employee is using the competition's products, that is also a completely inappropriate response and destruction of property. Guy's been an obnoxious asshole all his life, and has only been surrounded by people who had reason not to upset him - his ego has got to be through the roof.

Actually that last sentence is true of pretty much every rich shitbag out there.

Also a good ceo would ask why the employee uses the competition and treat it as free market research. Or just be a jackass that convinces them to associate your company with abuse
