I wonder how Adam Neumann is feeling through all of this. Stressed out? Checked out? Calculating? Defiant? Worried? Embarrassed?

What's it like being the public face of a company under such intense scrutiny?

I imagine the several hundred million he has already given himself helps tide over any stress from this.

He has the stress of worrying what the family whose money this was will do if they think he ripped them off...

He clearly does not care. If he did, he wouldn't have taken as much cash out of the company as he did, and would also spew less bullshit about the brand.

At least he's not stupid enough to believe his own BS.

He answers just enough to not be criminally liable for the overvaluation of the company.

He's been delusional since he and the hommie got high and thought up "capitalist kibbutz"
