Reposting some links from a thread two days ago about his response on Reddit.
I thought this comment (and the thread below it...and the lack of any reply to it despite the CEO being all over the thread elsewhere) was pretty telling.
It's much less of a strong tell, but is slightly concerning that he's picked up language like "triggered". As comments there say, his excuse of not being in-tune with American politics could be real, but are also possibly just plausible deniability, because he may have picked up on that language by hanging out online with fascists.
It's also worth noting that technically his username is "andy88" (1011000 is 88 in binary) which while that's likely his birth year, is still something you would hope someone from Switzerland of all places would recognize it as a Nazi dogwhistle and in poor taste for a username.
He might be able to hide behind not being familiar with US culture, but he cannot hide behind not being familiar with Nazi culture.
At a certain point, it stops being just coincidences.
