Telegram CEO’s Dad Drops Ancient Wisdom, Not Ancient Scandals
Pavel Durov, Telegram’s CEO who moonlights as a billion-user app kingpin and part-time French detainee, shared dad-life hacks straight from Ancient Rome. His 80-year-old dad told him to 'lead by example,' because apparently even tech billionaires need reminders not to ghost leadership. Next, focus on the positive, which is easier said than done when your app’s officially a 'gateway for criminals'—ouch. Lastly, keep your 'moral compass' sharper than Julius Caesar's daggers, because Durov claims it’s 'the ultimate human quality' that won’t age out even in the AI apocalypse. Talk about keeping it classical!

Telegram: Where your messages are encrypted, but your dad's advice isn’t — straight outta Ancient Rome with a side of billion-user chaos.
Pavel Durov’s life hack: Lead like Caesar, stay positive like a Vogue influencer, and keep your morality tighter than Telegram’s end-to-end encryption. Okay, mostly tight.
