Is he worth that much though? Everyone seems to paint him as a genius, but is his value 5x the other engineers on the team? 10x? 100x? It seems like there are plenty of smart and talented people you could hire for your self-driving car initiative that are 1% his price. Or, flipping it around, if self-driving engineers are really worth $100MM+ then maybe they should band together and work for themselves.

β€œIs he worth that much though?”

Of course he is. He is(was) about to help Google make many billions of dollars of which he and his team would only ever see a very small fraction.
