Caligula was pretty successful too. Maybe money and power aren't the magical trump card you think they are.

Pretty sure there's a correlation between intelligence + sociopathy and money.

I hope not, I'd rather have fewer narcissistic sociopaths in the world. He only cares about himself and what people think of him. Nothing he does is to benefit other people. He's not Iron Man, he's Lex Luthor.

I guess people have always idolized the creeps of the world, though.

I'm not sure whenever it's a good idea to cheer for lack of life-changing technical progress just because it's ran by a company governed by an ethically problematic person. The person is temporary, the progress is permanent.
