I think James is Elon's cousin.

Twitter employees must've dreaded seeing this guy. "Oh no, Elon is with James again. Shit is about to hit the fan"
I can't imagine how annoying that would be. Companies with family members as employees, especially startups, are the WORST and most toxic you can get.
A former company was full of nepotism. Chinese managed company with all the stereotypical inner circle politics.
The CEO's daughter was appointed "chief Green officer". We got metal bottle waters.
The daughters boyfriend was put in Sales, and never sold a thing.
To be fair, that seems to be the best case scenario for nepotism. Imagine if the daughter and her boyfriend were put into positions of real power without the expertise to back it up. The dad seems to understand and put them kids into harmless job role.
Chinese take nepotism to a new level
