He owns the company, so I'm not sure what you mean by fiduciary duty. Duty to who?

I believe he borrowed a big chunk of the cash. So he owes these folks something for funding it. It might be kind of limited but he can't just treat it like his own fiefdom.

He owns the majority of the company, but not all of it. There are other partial owners as well (Qatar, A Saudia Prince, Larry Ellison, Jack Dorsey, a venture capitalist or two, etc).

To the entity and to the shareholders. Sometimes to the creditors.
