His main objection seems to stem from the fact that Jack Dorsey's net worth is $5.6 billion.
His main objection is that FOSDEM is not CNBC. Should not be endorsing pretense of interviews, that are just marketing pitches.
I thought this was a pithy remark but it looks like it's actually pretty close to the truth.
