Dang Jim, your posts are just too quotable!

Jim:
Thousands of people are convicted or barred from directorships or contract bidding for transgressions *much* more modest than his [Musk's] litany.

I'd be interested in knowing, how many of those barred people have delivered even $1billion in value to the rest of the world?

You might argue at my guess that Musk should properly be assigned at least $500 billion in value delivered, but surely the $15 billion he paid in US taxes in one year puts an absolute floor on his contributions to the rest of society.

Just wondering how well the system is doing at protecting us from people who actually deliver value.
