It’s not like a hostile press didn’t earn it.

Can’t wait to see it become “X.” Will dominate. 

What? It’s doing well? Half the audience or more left it. Advertisers left it. He bought it, overpaid because of ego, and they will write it off as it falls apart.

I think tipping is a bad idea for a number of reasons, not the least of which is - which employee earns the tip? Are they breaking tips out? What about the employee who spends all day with someone to make a sale vs the person who moves through 20 customers? It will lead to problems. One of the best things about the Apple Store experience is that there is no pushy sales stuff. Some employees are going to push for tips and cause issues. And the customer does not benefit. Fight for a higher wage. Not the right to shake down buyers.

Good ol' greed. Taking what you get - and maybe even think you deserve. Because you know, I'm SURE he worked extra hard for that $200 million. But using capitalist theory against themselves - wouldn't he have worked harder if you'd only paid him say, $30,000 last year? Then if he worked even harder he could get a raise.
