How do you think we Star Trek fans felt when Star Trek Discovery lists him off as one of the great inventors alongside the Wright Brothers and Zephram Cochrane (the man who invented warp for humanity in universe)?
It was like saying, "like those great feminists, Simone de Beauvoir, Susan B Anthony, and Donald Trump."
The Simpsons had him on one episode at some point during the shitty seasons which is like 24 of them now. Lisa, always the bullshit detector in the show, fawns over him and calls him "one of our greatest living inventors" or something along those lines. Really highlights how the show mostly revolves around guest stars playing themselves more and more as the show went on and quality declined.

He was in the right place at the right time starting PayPal. It was a good time to be starting things on the internet.
He is not Tony Stark though, and it seems ridiculous that anyone thinks he is.
