I've reported on Musk for around 8 years. I've co-authored a book on him. I don't think folks understand the rate of his wealth accumulation. Shortly after he helped elect Donald Trump in Nov 2024, his net worth was around $350 billion. That net worth has nearly tripled in less than two years.

This is textbook violation of fiduciary duty on behalf of the Board — it's deliberately sabotaging your own institution to make a political point. Every Board member who voted for this is breaking their oath.

when we did a Rolling Stone print piece on Musk in the trump admin, @andrewperez.bsky.social crunched the numbers to give readers an idea of what the Gargantuan sum Elon spent on 2024 meant to him. Sure, richest man alive but that number was MASSIVE, wasn’t it? For your average american fam…

NBA teams were 4-750 when down by 20 or more in the 4th quarter of a playoff game over the last 30 years. They are now 5-750. Knicks come back from 20 in the fourth quarter, the second time they've come back from down 20 in the fourth THIS POSTSEASON.

You shouldn't be able to lead an IPO and a pogrom in the same week.
