    Yep, I don’t disagree with any of that. He’s a tool, whose only discernable skills seem to be understanding when a company is positioned to take a huge emerging market, and being a hype man. And that 2nd skill seems to have run its course because he huffed too many of his own farts. The first too, for that matter.

    Edit - to be clear, since I don’t think you’re understanding my point. I assert that he was a competent investor. He hit gold too many times for it to be a luck. That has nothing to do with his leadership abilities or ideas. Completely separate skills that we’re talking about.

    A.K.A. as a business man, he has succeeded. As a CEO, he has succeeded in spite of himself, because the employees knew their shit.
