Yes yes billionaire and all that, I mean going beyond his company and personal ethics. People talk about how he looks and acts in the moment as creepy or unsettling, feelings which other tech bros don’t seem to evoke. Why is that?
Don’t know. Can’t quite put my finger on it.
Dead psychopath eyes
This plus the way he acts and behaves has very cold blooded reptilian vibes.
I know a lot of neurodiverse people and nobody I have met in person reminds me of Zuch.
He has an uncanny valley look to him. I think the dark eyes and crappy haircut are part of it. And his general awkwardness. But also a lot of it is influenced by his actions, ie. the way you can feel everything he says is a sleazy lie as he works to invade your privacy. He doesn’t have a sleek salesman demeanor to help smooth it over.
dude, that guy’s … like, how do i say this. it’s just obvious that he has no empathy at all, nor does he understand what it means to be human. the term “lizard people” comes from him (i guess) because damn. no emotions.
it’s not so much the “no emotions” part that creeps me off, but the certainty that if he had any, they would be psychotic.
you know how he started the company? by posting photos of girls on campus against their will online, sothat others can rate them by their appearance. just imagine what a shitstorm that would cause if you did that today. people would call it “totally creepy”, and i guess they’d be totally right about that.
Just putting my reply to a comment on its own
Nobody in the position of power he exists in can be judged solely off of appearance. We’ve all seen too many quotes and actions by him to judge without context.
feelings which other tech bros don’t seem to evoke
Evidence to the contrary: Melon Usk. Different type of nutcase but unsettling in his own way.
MZ stole the idea that made him rich. He behaved like an asshole when he got rich. He runs a big company that is unencumbered by such moral quandaries as whether or not to prevent genocide. A company that experimented with manipulating teenage girls. A company that is aware of the addictive qualities of their products.
If he speaks in public he comes across to me as part robot, part calculating oppositionist, and part utterly uncomfortable.
I think the public had a similar impression of another tech bro, Bill Gates. Until his wife divorced him, he was looked at as a nerd with the voice is Kermit the frog. And now he finds out that no charity donations can wash away the Epstein files oil slick.
