Interesting excuse-making. It frames his LIE about someone involving a serious allegation as a freak-out over a kid being critical rather than a legal adult attacking out of rivalry (on social media where it always blows up, higher ups rarely get involved unless they feel they should which they did). "Yes I have burned bridges and tried to undermine you but you responded so you're weak"

Look at the people he has surrounded himself with, drama-whores.

And he tried to pretend he never made those allegations (which at best makes him negligent since they were being made and he could see them, waiting over an hour to say otherwise)

We have a rocky foundation of ideas guys becoming leaders by inertia, cultivating an audience who really wouldnt like us long term, but this is rockier
