I mean, it's still getting fired heading into a recession shortly after having a kid.

He's very high up. He's not going to be suffering like the serfs below him. I've seen many let go with no severance or two weeks in a worse recession - including those who don't have a 8+ figure NW...

Don't be fooled - the guy is quite rich.

I mean, he apparently sold $1.5M worth of Twitter stock last week, and is estimated to hold (based on some super basic internet research) ~500k more shares, which is ~$25M in stock[0].

I think he'll be able to weather the financial impact of a recession and having a kid.

His stock options have probably been in the black for years.
