He’s a young man with a future to think about. Using all the powers you have can offend some people, some of whom are in a position to help or hinder your future efforts for decades to come.

If this works, it’ll be Jobsian brilliance. If, as more likely, not—then expect his life to get harder.

I worked with Travis in 2002 and he didn't get where he is by not offending people. He plays hard all the time.

Poor guy might be out of a job, would just have to get by with his few paltry billions.

(I know what you are trying to say, but no-one makes billions without being smart, lucky and willing to take a chance)

If things go poorly I imagine within a year he'll find no hinderance. A guy like him will get lots of second chances.
