I think, based on people around him that I talked to, just based on my experience over the years, that really, this is a strong word, but I think it traumatized him, honestly. Like, this becomes him in the public eye, and I think that bothered him, and there's no real way to escape it.

So in a way, yet another sort of origin story of first the press comes after me, now the film industry is portraying me as this sort of conniving billionaire figure. I'm never going to get a fair shake sort of thing.

I think that's right. For him, it might not be super clear cut, but it definitely evolved over time in these very public moments. And like, if the movie, it would be one thing if the movie weren't good and popular. And this is the exact worst case scenario for him because it was both of those things.

There's these issues that as he grows up under the spotlight, you know, he goes from early 20s to mid 20s. Yeah. He starts figuring out things that he might start to care about. And often that's through the filter of friends and people around him.

From what I've heard, what people I've talked to, there was this earnest view of the world, or at least of Washington, where if I can go in and explain my views to these people in Congress, I will be able to have a sort of rigorous intellectual debate. And like, maybe we disagree on things, but we can sort of have that discourse.

There are obviously he has enough paid Washington folks around him who find that idea absurd, but they're not going to tell the boss you are wildly naive and you have not come to the level of cynicism that you need to engage in Washington.

You know, it's funny now because like this is still seen as like an aberration in democracy. Right. There's no way that the American people could have elected Donald Trump. This had to be manipulation from foreign governments. This had to be the spread of disinformation across Facebook. And like, look, those things did happen, do happen. Right.
