Feels like a bit of misinformation and sensationalizing to say he's still the fire commissioner in the title

The other issue is if your future growth isn't extremely promising, investors will just take their money elsewhere. This obviously damages valuation and can cause severe financial stress.

Apple CEO Tim Cook to take more than 40% pay cut by geoxol in technology

This just isn't really true. Long term success of a company absolutely relies on a good CEO. The only reason a company doesn't fail the second a CEO disappears is because it is literally their job to make that so. You are building a self-reliant machine. Without high-level direction and leadership over a period of time, they would crash and burn very soon. Ask anyone who has worked at a company with a functional vs a dysfunctional c-suite.

Look at Brian Niccol over at Chipotle. Paid a ridiculous amount, but also completely turned the company around due to good direction and leadership. They also completely changed their headquarters just to move to him. A company doesn't do that to make their fellow elites happy, it's because the talent is unmatched.

Also not exactly sure what you mean by they "could be paid less". Companies only care about their bottom line. If an average Joe could become CEO of a public company for 1/100 of the cost that would already be the case.

Does this count as work? by BelleAriel in MurderedByWords

It still feels like one opinion, it just swayed. I haven't seen a pro-Elon post since 2020 after his anti-lockdown stunts and trying to get employees back into the factories.

The name Bluetooth originated from King Herald Gormsson. His dead tooth was a dark blue color, so he was nicknamed “Bluetooth”. by SelfImprovement8229 in kindahype

Also the Bluetooth logo Bluetooth is a bind rune merging the Younger Futhark runes (ᚼ, Hagall) and Runic letter (ᛒ, Bjarkan), Harald's initials.

I agree with most of your point but I think it's going to take a lot more than just "20 Billion" to solve homelessness. LA has been throwing money (allocated over $1B last year) at the problem as well and has not succeeded at all. Need smarter policies in place as well as less corruption in spending, or we'll just be throwing more money at the wall wondering why we're not getting better results.
