He’s outspokenly anti-worker and anti-union.

Jesus this bullshit lie needs to stop. The only thing he said is that if his employees started a union that there is nothing he could do about it and he would consider it a personal failure.

But by all means, if there's something I'm missing, please share.

I get your point, but it's more of a bigger picture for me.

Remember that WAN segment about quiet quitting? The vibe was off on that one. Especially keeping the previous remark about unions in mind. Why would he think that he can be owner and main manager of such a big company with gigantic daily content output AND keep his workers best interests in mind at all times? If he is not anti-union he is at the very least wrong on why they are necessary. In the worst case he actually realizes that he could do much better for his workforce.

I have legitimately no idea what remark you're referring to, other than the one I specifically outlined where he categorically did not condemn unions.

Sexual assault, a toxic frat-bro culture, and open misogyny isn't a personal failure?

Assuming any of that is true, then yes. That wasn't the topic of discussion.
