This article really buried the lede here
- ketzo 3y agoDoes he have a special dispenser at his desk? Does he have one strip he chews on throughout the day, or does he get a new one after every meeting? Is it folded up, balled up? So many questions. So, so many.
- lawlessone 3y agoIt's too weird to make up.
- lotsofpulp 3y agoMaybe it is product placement (advertising). If a popular personality has an interview, they can reach out to an ad agency (or vice versa) and be asked if they want to do something weird during the interview with a brand name product that would get people talking.
- TheCleric 3y agoYeah the rest of it can be chalked up as narcissistic business personality, but this? This is psychotic. A billionaire chewing on scotch tape.
- groby_b 3y agoYou can dislike billionaires without making questionable ad-hoc diagnoses disconnected from actual knowledge about the disorder. Chewing scotch tape is many things, "out of the usual" certainly being one of them, but it's nowhere close to diagnostic criteria for psychosis.
