    This is the way he’s always been and it’s only getting worse.

    Employees have always had to manage him not the other way around; a perpetual petulant toddler banging his hands on the table; ruining everything he touches with his Reverse-Midas-Touch so they keep him at bay.

    The guy was a decent salesman, heavilly empowered by daddy’s money and connections, who had a bit of luck, even though he only had one kind of salesmanship technique - the Techbro Brew: heavy on selling “high-tech” and “innovation” as inherently good and always trumphing other considerations - and kept walking the grey legal area between lies, exageration and Fraud.

    However he seems to have started believing his own schtick that he’s a special golden boy whose farts smell of roses, and here we are now.

      There’s a world of difference between a micro and a macro dose. You don’t want to be anywhere near work with the latter.

      The downvoters must clearly not remember the Charlie Sheen “winning!” drug debacle. Strikingly similar to Elon, if you think about it.
