    the guy had a yearly salary in the hundreds of millions.

    He’s the CEO of a publicly traded company. His salary is publicly available. It was $9.86M. His net worth was estimated at $40M.

    I keep hearing a lot of pretty extreme exaggerations about this guy’s wealth, including that he was a billionaire. He was a 1%er for sure, but literally nowhere near the wealth of an oligarch. I guess being deliberately dishonest is helping people justify their full-throated endorsement of vigilantism and murder this week.

        You gotta read the room and put the conciliatory part up front when people’s emotions are up. They put it at the end unfortunately

          Downvoting as a knee jerk response without caring to even read the comment is a flaw of the downvoter, not the commenter.

          “Read the room”, how about read the comment? lol

            trust me i know… i used to have high expectations and think like that too. but nowadays i’m more into meeting people where they’re at, even if that means “barely literate” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
