He’s definitely a bit of an asshole. I appreciate his propensity to talk shit to people, I enjoy that myself, but he equates intelligence with technical skill and tells people they just need a thicker skin if they don’t like his abuse.
I think he’s an asshole¹ but he’s not nearly on the same level as Elmo or any other billionaire. Between actually working and contributing, not being as hardcore exploitative capitalist, and not having nearly the same level of hoarded wealth², there’s just far less potential for assholery.
1: Mind, I still value his work, but the way he sometimes treats people reaches into asshole territory for me.
2: A superficial search suggests a net worth of $50 million. In perspective, that’s $0.05 billion, compared to the late Jobs’ $10.8 billion (0.5%) or Musk’s ~$400 billion (0.01%)
I don’t think Linus Thorvalds is either very stylish or really an asshole. He might be a bit short fused, but not an asshole.
Eh, he’d probably agree that he is a bit of an asshole.

Eh - I mean, I’m not an asshole all the time, but I can be occasionally. I’m also not very stylish.
Wait…am I Linus Thorvalds? Nope.
Too late. You outed yourself, Linus
A bit asshole I see.
