I honestly think that he believes himself to be some sort of super genius that only has good ideas, just cause he wrote some software and sold it for alot of money when he was younger.

He wrote something called zip2 and sold it. Then he wrote get this… x.com, which became PayPal.

Edit, because I didn’t really answer your question: yes he did code it, as far as anyone seems to know.
