Those fucking people man...

Tell me again how these CEOs with multi-million golden parachutes were worth that if they're bailing from a company they failed?

Elon is the prefect example of how little actual work a CEO does.

  • CEO of SpaceX - Elon Musk
  • Chairman and CTO of Twitter - Elon Musk
  • CEO of Telsa - Elon Musk
  • President of Musk Foundation - Elon Musk
  • CEO of xAI - Elon Musk

What does Elon do all day? Be a piece of a shit on Twitter. If CEO work was so demanding, there would be no way Elon would be the CEO of three different companies, chairman of the Board and CTO of one company, and a president of a "charitable" organization.

Reporting by The New York Times found that in 2022, the Musk Foundation gave away $230 million less than the minimum required by law to maintain tax-deductible status, and that in 2021 and 2022 over half the foundation's funds went to causes connected to Musk, his family, or his businesses.

Because them saying they're "worth" that is just mental gymnastics to make themselves feel better about abusing the position of power to leech as much money from as many people as possible for themselves.
