One user joked, “Welcome to Louisiana where we recognize a ball player before a CEO”
Some other added, “I respect his vibe, he’s not looking for praise or acknowledgment, just being human… I’d rather have a beer with him than most of his contemporaries”

Some other said, “This is actually Flex. be rich without the fame = real peace"
“Money screams…wealth whispers”
“Tim Cook is NOT Steve Jobs. Let's be clear...MOST Americans wouldn't recognize any of the CEOs of the top 50 companies in the world outside of X, Microsoft, Amazon and Meta. Ford... nope, GM... nope, Blackrock... nope, JP Morgan, BoA, Wells Fargo... nope”
