Can someone provide sources for the information? I’m not doubting it, just that relying solely on information from a meme without references is generally a bad idea

For PayPal he was actually fired, but still had a lot of shares. Musk was fired when the company he was CEO of (x.com), merged with Confinity. PayPal was a service of Confinity. Musk kept pushing his X concept, whilst the rest of the company wanted to go PayPal. Musk got pushed out over this and some other conflicts. Later PayPal made it big and the shares made Musk a bunch of money.

So for PayPal Musk had zero to do with it’s success.

EDIT: lol, They asked for sources! You know, like links to proof…? It’s the very first sentence!
