People talk about what a cunt Elon Musk is. Torvalds has been an abusive, condescending, contemptuous cunt for FAR longer.
Torvalds really worked on his attitude and it shows. It's pretty evident from his interviews that he doesn't want the attention due to brash behavior. Even this news article is hyperbolic. He is just trying to get a point across. He's pretty much self restrained otherwise.
Torvalds worked on his behaviour and he's much better now than he used to be. I suppose he still has to work on it but it's a clear improvement. Also he knows what he is talking about and he's not a Nazi.
Haven't seen Linus pay hush money to shut up sexual abuse allegations.
We would probably not be talking right now if not for him believe it or not!
Linus might be an asshole but he's actually competent. Elon Musk is a fucking joke of a person. Not to mention Linus hasn't done anything that compares to things like Elon suing his way into being a "founder" of Tesla and kicking out the actual founders.
Source? I'm genuinely curious
Edit: nevermind, found it
Most of what you just said was wrong.
When did he go off on you, then; and for which gaffe?
