Adam Neumann's WeWork crashed from a $47 billion valuation to a spectacular flop, he walked away with a $1.7 billion golden parachute. The 1% fail upward workers drown in the wreckage of broken dreams, sinking deeper than the Titanic. #3E

I’ve released a report on 130 potential acts of corruption that benefit Elon Musk or his companies—one for every day he was a “Special Government Employee” in the Trump administration. These examples fit the Trump agenda: billionaires win, families lose.
