The guy founded/oversaw the development one of the most revolutionary companies of all time. Enough with this speculation that he is completely incompetent. People need to accept that results matter

I think the question is whether Peter Principle applies. The fact that he was fired hints he wasn't able to grow into the role he holds, but there's likely a lot of politics involved there so the signal is blurry.

Peter Principle is when someone is competent until they are put in a position where they are incompetent. It doesn't nullify that he was great at YC or OpenAI at the start, but both of these gave him poor reviews near the end.
