Is it just me, or is this seeming more like desperation than confidence?

They have the confidence to say things out loud they would not have previously dared to say, so... yeah, maybe just you.

I'd argue that confidence implies some sort of acceptance of risk. Like how courage is doing something in spite of fear attached to doing that thing.

Stupid asshole nepobaby has never faced real consequences in his life, so none of his actions can really be categorized as confident or brave. Just a potato with a current running through it powering a lightbulb.
