  I find it fascinating that he has such a strong desire to have people have a certain perception of him. I'm not sure what that perception is supposed to be,if it's admiration or respect or whatever.

  But it does seem to drive him to do odd things. Sleeping on an office floor. There's no reason for him to do that. Pay somebody to follow him around and make a bed for him to sleep in if he doesn't want to go home. Taking photos of himself and then using alt accounts to post wonderful things about himself. It's weird.

  He's living out a fantasy of being a young start-up founder

  One assumes it's a combination of his daily drug abuse and performative workaholism

  When he said he was going to "change the world", did he mean he was going to remove the beds?

  Because that seems like a step backwards to me.

  Because he’s deranged. Next question.
