I trust him even less because I cannot tell when he is telling the truth. This is great.

If anything, it bums me out how mad some people are getting over it. It's pretty harmless and hilarious in my opinion. I admit, it's hard to trust him after this stunt, but logically it's kind of clear he's rich and has nothing to lose by having a go.

Why are you bummed that people are mad about being lied to? It seems like a reasonable human reaction.

Basically, because I do feel like it is a mostly-harmless lie that is quite funny. I get that it is eroding people's sense of trust, but I'm guessing his intent was not to mess with his own following but to mess with the general reddit community. The fact that this went viral seems to have pulled in some of his fans, but I doubt it was intentional.

> mostly-harmless lie that is quite funny.

People feel shitty when they are lied to and laughed at.

It's a shitty thing to do. If you enjoy it, that's fine. It's still a dick move.
