Recommendation

Elon Musk is a controversial figure, known for pioneering entrepreneurship as the owner of Tesla and SpaceX. The director of Musk’s family office, Jared Birchall, is, by contrast, a quiet, devout Christian. As Hayley Cuccinello reports for Insider, he has worked for Musk’s foundations and companies since 2016, and he got into difficulties as part of a high-profile defamation suit against Musk. In return for Birchall’s loyalty, Musk entrusted him with raising capital for his proposed purchase of Twitter. While some of Birchall’s colleagues claim he lacks the experience for such a complex project, his willingness to put himself on the line for Musk sustains his boss’s faith.

Take-Aways

  • Jared Birchall and Elon Musk have little in common.
  • Birchall negotiated the deals to finance Musk’s bid for Twitter.
  • Birchall is a “doer and fixer” for Musk, taking on tough situations to protect his boss’s reputation.
