      You’d think a guy that has become the poster child for the tech industry would be a bit more STEM-literate.

      Like, he programmed a lot as a kid, has a degree in physics and was accepted for a PhD in materials science. So really, what’s his excuse?

        I thought he in fact had a Bachelor of Arts, majoring in science?

        His excuse is that he’s bad at science and his dad paid for the degree. Apparently his code was terrible too.

        His only actual skill is being in the same room when Peter Thiel bought PayPal, and it was daddy’s money that got him into that room.
