Same boat. I think he's been in a place where nobody has said "no" to him in such a long time that he's just lost touch a bit with reality. Also, I really don't think it's fair to make opinions of him unless you also make opinions of the other billionaire's based on what they actually think, not just their PR firm. You're not going to get _any_ off-the-cuff remarks from Bezos, for example.

That's my point though. I am not judging the content of his opinions. I am concerned about the fact that he is voicing them with little care. Everybody has some weird opinions and half-baked ideas. It's very different to have these thoughts in your head vs sharing them with friends and family or to to voice them to 160 million followers. He can think in private whatever he wants and I wouldn't care or judge him unless it starts to impact other people. I think lots of weird shit, but it just makes my wife roll her eyes. Nobody is gonna die from it.
