      Which is why I specifically pointed that out.

      He’s just a guy who plays an engineer on TV, and in his own imagination. In reality, he got where he is by starting mildly rich, and then stumbling into blockbuster tech companies like 3 times in a row.

      You bet there’s engineers that have the same basic worldview, though. I’ve talked to many.
