He portrays himself as incredibly smart but also quirky and relatable. Given the monetary stakes, I don’t doubt for a second that he has a public relations team guiding him. He’s a living advertisement.
So I guess I sorta like the persona he embodies in the sense of being smart and relatable. But I also really distrust that image and dislike the fact that it’s in the service of guiding consumer (and perhaps regulatory and worker) behavior to maximize profits.
Yeah the persona seems partially fake (like his hair-line ;) ).
But regardless of that, he did a lot to push for some really interesting technological innovations instead of just playing it safe with the millions he got from selling his part of PayPal back in the day. In the end it seems to have (financially) worked out for him, but he could have very easily lost all on those risky innovations.
So all in all I would say compared with the other internet billionaires we sadly have (that just shouldn’t be a thing in general), he is probably the best.
