    Wasn’t the Twitter buyout for a significant portion of his wealth that he like, claimed he didn’t even have?

    All those people say things like “well they’re risking their wealth!” he seems to be a pretty good example of someone who “risked a lot of their wealth”, objectively fucked up and should have lost at least most of it, and has come out essentially unscathed.

    If you can collosally fuck up a whole company, and your wealth doesn’t even move, what are you even risking? At all?
