Umm, no shit? This isn’t actually saying anything. I am saying that his stated principles are inconsistent with his actions. Yes, sure, maybe deep down on his heart of hearts he actually is the most kind caring person who ever existed, but I have no way of knowing what is in his heart of hearts so I can only judge him by what he has said and done, and I am arguing that his actions don’t match his words.

You really think that a CEOs public statements match their real thoughts and feelings? Everything you hear from any CEO is constructed to form a desired image and narrative. Any public statements from a CEO that you are using to judge their character is completely false and misguided. You have no idea what the real man is behind the image.

  You haven’t really gone through my comment history here, which is fine, I haven’t gone through yours, but if you had you would see that today I posted about how you can’t trust anything billionaires say because there’s no negative consequences for lying. I am arguing that he posted on Twitter not even 24 hours ago a post laying out what looked like principles. Not even 24 hours later he decided that those principles aren’t actually important. I am not a psychic because psychics don’t actually exist, so I can’t read minds, so I cannot know what he is actually thinking. I am claiming that he’s a piece of shit for not following his own stated principles. I actually do think billionaires should face consequences for lying.

  Are you trying to say he might be a great guy if you get past the things he says and the actions he takes? What's left?

    Are you saying you have never done anything where your hand was forced, or that you have never done anything that you look back on and regret? People change, as do their circumstances and opinions. You have no idea what forces and pressures are making a man do what he does.

      I'll note you didn't answer my question. I assume this is because the answer to "what's left" is "excuses," which is what you appear to be describing now.
