      I mean:

      -Grew up in a racist, bigoted society (Mormon Utah/apartheid South Africa)
      -has a creepy relationship with women (harem in HFW/all the female employees he knocks up or harasses)
      -initially touted as a savior because their big thing helps the environment
      -needs to be handled
      -irratic
      -needs to be worshipped
      -thinks they alone can solve the problems of the world
      -runs employees ragged with impossible deadlines
      -doesn’t think through the consequences of their impetuous decisions

      He’s totally Ted Faro.
