yes, being abused as a child and lacking familial interactions/communications in your youth might explains your behavioural issues and tendencies.
BUT IT NEVER EXCUSES THEM - you being treated badly as a kid doesn't mean you can grow up and treat other people, mostly people who work for you, like shit. Growing up as a traumatised person isn't wrong, what's wrong is when you KNOW you're doing badly mentally and this in turn results in you behaving badly to the people around you, and not doing anything about it.
And the "inability to afford therapy" doesn't makes sense for him too bc he IS privileged. Like sure i can and probably will read this anyways ignoring the blatant employee abuse and utterly stupid behaviour ML is showing but idk seeing people in the comments saying "ooh what a pathetic cute ml lolll, i like him" . Being an adult and be
unable to regulate your issues isn't cute, it's damaging esp bc the one's that have to face this issues are the people under you, maybe the one's whose mental health (and physical seeing how ml have no issue hitting his employees) is in jeopardy, and who probably CANT afford the luxuries ML can just by being born with a diamond spoon.
