I get that some people are unaware of the connection, but a man in his position almost certainly knew and if he didn't then he needs a team of people to choose his words for him in the future. Even if I believed he didn't know it's still disgusting that a man with that much money thinks the worker ants need to get back in line because they love their jobs.
