In the livestreams he says things like "this is stupid", or "what the heck is this?", but I have never heard him say "YOU are stupid". Is he acting differently than normal in his livestreams?
Also, one thing that I found a bit troubling is that the employees generally sound terrified, but I've had bosses who were great AND terrifying at the same time, so I have given Wolfram the benefit of the doubt.

What do you mean exactly here, given that in the paragraph above you said he screamed at an employee so hard she went into labor?
> He is utterly convinced that everyone around him is an idiot, and that one day the world will realize how wrong they were about his ideology and dedicate museums to his honor, etc.
Is that something that he has said, or is it hyperbole?
He's definitely the kind of person that wouldn't dare scream at someone in real life, but will gladly tell you how much of a PoS you are in the middle of a meeting with a dozen other people.
My fellow employees (except for the hard core brown-nosers) are the most kind and intelligent people I've had the pleasure of working with. They are the true geniuses being this release. SW is the tyrant that the rest of the company is trying to fight.
