He's still the same wannabe edgelord he's always been. Hard to believe his target market is bothered by that.

Shareholders, on the other hand, might have issue with what he's doing and its effect on the stock price.

You're wrong. He didn't always spout Nazi bullshit. That's a huge change that happened in the last couple of years.

I have coworkers who worked with him in the past, and I can say with 100% certainty that he's always been like this. He's just more open about it now/his PR team isn't keeping it from the public.
