Abusing his workers to the point of giving them seizures and exposing them to dangerous chemicals? Just a small sacrifice to push us all into the future

Hanging out with Ghislaine/Epstein? Whatever, all the famous people did

SA of a flight attendant? No big deal, she's probably lying for attention

Disowning his trans daughter? To each their own, we don't know what happened behind closed doors

Being hilariously bad at Path of Exile 2? Ok now that's a step too far.

It is kinda weird though that he hires people to do his leisure too. Isn't the whole point of being that rich to waste your life fucking around?

my guess is, in his mind, being great at vibeo gamez is part of his self-styled mythos. he can't allow himself to be perceived as normal at any of the "big brain" stuff, because it would jeopardize belief in his meritocratic rise.

he's got to be preternaturally epic at everything regarded as important by his tech douche mileu. reading, math, physics, code, gamering, sexual conquest/relationships, reproduction, operational management, etc etc.

the whole "real life Tony Stark" thing is crazy instructive about his psyche. a lot of naive people bought that manufactured narrative and are pretty shocked to uncover how bullshit it is.
