Doesn't really matter if people like him if everyone keeps using his company's products, which only continues to increase his wealth and power...

I believe it's now 14 kids (or #14 on the way) and a 6th baby mama in the picture.

On the same note, some of his posts are almost perversely self-aware, like he's intentionally describing himself or his followers in the people he criticizes. I can almost see him chuckling as he posts certain things like, "check it out, these morons are going to swallow this bullshit up" only there's no one who cares that he can share it with.
