How much more money does Elon Musk have to lose before he’s forced to be someone’s butler?

Even if he lost all of his current stock, holdings, businesses, liquid assets, and crypto overnight, there are enough idiot techbros and grifters out there willing to pay to have him speak at their events to keep him wealthy forever.

The only way we're ever going to see him "poor" is if he commits/facilitates enough financial crimes to draw the wrath of the FTC/SEC. Disgustingly rich people generally don't go to prison anyway, but he's so monumentally stupid that he might manage to pull off a Bernie Ebbers (or alternatively, a Kenneth Lay).

Time passes quickly on the weekend.

My job is dealing with the share registers of multi national companies and liaising with their CEOs, CFOs, etc.

There are many avenues that a Director could go to sell their shares without it having any impact on the share price. They would almost certainly avoid the open market for this purpose.

How much of this undetectable impersonation problem would vanish if twitter switched to a font that didn't have multiple letters that look identical?

(I speak in total ignorance here, is the default font the same for everyone or can it be changed at the user end?)

About how much money can Leon get out of Tesla stock sales before he goes under 50% ownership? Obviously the large sell offs themselves would affect the price, but let's just go with the current price for argument's sake.

Before Elon bought twitter, he had ~25% ownership of Tesla
Then he needed to offload another $4b so now he's at like 18% ownership, by my quick and cruddy math

I think he can hear you, Ray.
Above all, Elon wants to devalue journalism so that you can stop reading stories about what an awful employer he is. I'm not sure what happens to good journalists when Twitter eventually dies, but in the meantime we get this.

Also, I like the idea of forcing a bunch of managers to actually know how to do the jobs of the people they are managing.
