Let's be real here. This guy's business went to shit because of the pandemic, and he's panicing that he's going to get kicked out of the cool kids VC club. Then he made a big strategic boo boo to try to stay in the club, and laid on a bunch of rationalizations why that wasn't the case last week. Now, he realizes he's doubly fucked, and got a PR firm to help him do damage control.

Which honestly is fine to me. I don't care one way or the other. It's just funny to see people contort to not see the obvious.

Not sure I agree with that. There's a very obvious example of clinical narcissism that we frequently hear about these days who seems to be a strong counterexample, in that they have never gone on record apologizing or taking responsibility for anything, even when doing so would be a clear, unambiguous winning move.

It's usually perilous to diagnose other people with psychiatric conditions over the Internet, and I don't think the case can be made for the Triplebyte CEO.
