Itโs always been more as a promoter and image seller, but he has also been willing to make big calls and take risks others wonโt which has allowed them to grow. That is valuable. And he has been hands on in some areas sometimes in ways that have been instrumental in shaping things. For better or worse.
Heโs far from perfect. But no one is, and honesty is important.
I suspect the big issue here is something typical of narcissists - heโs gotten older, and he canโt keep up his game convincingly enough anymore to fool a large enough percentage of the public, so heโs downward spiraling. And internally he can feel it, which makes it worse.
It would explain a lot, especially the often bizarre and destructive attacks on anyone who says anything he doesnโt like. The over the top edgy/controversial behavior to get reactions, etc.
