No but there’s talk out here that he is an asshole 😢

Seems to be not uncommon in science personalities when talking with adults. Never heard even rumors about him being an asshole to someone in this target audience, lots of them seem like they just don't give a single shit about talking to adults and I kinda get it.

In a day and age where the next celebrity may have deliberately hurt children, I'll take an asshole any day.

I can accept that he’s an asshole now more than him being an asshole then. Fame and fortune gets to everyone’s head sooner or later.

I've heard he was an asshole before he was famous. He also is a Mechanical Engineer, which tracks with the asshole accusations. In my experience, people with little patience who don't suffer fools.

Exactly, he's not an asshole, he's an engineer, which is like a superset of asshole.
