Muskâs Twitter markdown falls short of the markElon Musk is being characteristically optimistic. The billionaire owner of Twitter has offered stock grants to the social media appâs shrunken staff at a valuation of about $20 billion, less than half the price he paid in October. In fact, based on Twitterâs operating performance, the effects of leverage and public market comparisons, the equity is probably worthless.

Then it would be OK to batch Woody with Croz, as well as Elon.

He was much more instrumental in founding Space X, but the idea of reusable rockets was already well established and despite his history as a coder, he certainly wasn't 'building rockets' as his fanbase likes to say. And Space X wouldn't be around without some healthy government contracts to support it's endeavors. I'm sure I'm missing others too. He's certainly got a knack for being a public face, but he's hardly the business genius/ real life Tony Stark that he likes appear to be.
HIs only "skill" is marketing himself; and that seems to be failing.

No, not really, when you get into criminal activity, things go off rail.

Or get publicly released from your NDA, then get set up for a couple of lawsuits for defamation and disclosure of private health information. I knew a little about this guy previously, but hadn't read the full backstory. He basically took wages in lieu of a cash payout for his company to *maximize* his tax burden. He did this because it was an efficient way for him to get money back into Iceland's public welfare system that had supported him for years. He also had the title of something like acquired founder which basically meant he had no responsibilities and couldn't be fired for 'doing no work', although most reports paint him as a productive innovator and leader in his organization.
Now that he's fired Twitter is on the hook for the balance of his payout, which could be near 100 million. That's before the public disclosure, defamation and wrongful termination suits. It must be huge, because the lawyers (or some remaining adult) at twitter actually got him to issue an apology pretty quick.
He can probably file for unemployment insurance too. Don't know about Iceland's laws but don't companies have to pay part of that?

All true, but when does encouragement toward the destruction of our democracy start to outweigh the good? He definitely accelerated a lot of industries, but we'd have gotten their sooner or later.
Harvey Weinstein made some great movies.
You forgot Starlink...which is providing Ukrainian internet and freaking out the Chinese all at once.

he also strikes me as someone who is losing their grip on reality.. being rich is not the only metric of success I guess.
