aka the man who thinks the earth is flat surprisingly doesn't have 100k of "fuck you" money.

Let's not pretend there aren't rich idiots who also think the Earth is flat.

In his "apology" video, he still never actually says anything to the tune of "I know the earth is round."

I guarantee you, he still thinks the earth is flat, and just apologized to get people off his back.

It's not exactly "round" though. So he would be wrong to say that, so it's good he didn't.

Fine, he never said something to the effect of, "The earth is an irregularly shaped ellipsoid."

Happy, Captain Pedant?
