    Oh yeah, but I always saw the characters of that show to be composite of real-life people. And as composite characters, they aren't specific to one person but the whole industry as a whole. Gavin Belson is a Steve Jobs but we are seeing he's more of a Musk-type person. I would argue that Mike Judge made these characters out of the people who are in the industry rather than one specific person. Because this industry is going to collapse and the people who collapse it are going to teach in a prestigious university where they only perpetuate their bullshit and it becomes a cycle of capital. Today it's the internet and tomorrow whatever comes after that gets destroyed by capital's very extractive nature.
