Oh shit you weren't just being an asshole throwing out definitions to prove a point, my bad for assuming the worst.

He [Gabe] is relatively [in comparison to other billionaires] down to earth.

Its not a high bar but he does pass it especially if you're only comparing to the more well known billionaires.

Some people can and have interpreted me calling their source bad a personal call out. I've done that before, honestly it's not a great thing to do but emotions exist.

  1. Why do folks assume I want to be an asshole in a community created to be silly and merry‽

I am an anarchist, for goodness gracious. I initialize all my conversations in neutrality until proven otherwise.

When I am in this community, I comprehend folks come here jovially, with the intent to entertain.

He [Gabe] is relatively [in comparison to other billionaires] down to earth.

Yeah HOW? He is a scumbag authoritarian. He sents talent to deathcamps. He drowns people in the Pacific. HOW does that compare to other “down to Earth” bourgeois oppressors?
