   No doubt he is very successful building some very innovative businesses.   
      
   But that does not make him any less weird is some areas of life.  He   
   says a lot of things people take issue with about life, family,   
   politics.  When you do that you are subject to the same comments the   
   rest of us get.  He wants people to have more babies, but really white   
   ones.  He has twelve with three mothers.  He can afford it.
