Elon Musk’s Fixer Is Quietly Tending the World’s Biggest Fortune

Jared Birchall is the right-hand man who does everything from lining up Twitter deal financing to digging up dirt on adversaries.

Bloomberg
“Birchall left Morgan Stanley in 2016 to help the Tesla leader set up Excession, named after the Iain Banks science-fiction novel. The book centers on a powerful alien object, the Excession, that appears and spurs societies to fight over its control.”
“Birchall has help. Alex Spiro, Musk’s lawyer, has played a key role in defending the billionaire in his entanglements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the “pedo guy” lawsuit. He declined to comment for this story.”

“Another wealth-management firm, Catalyst Family Office, has also been linked to Musk. It describes itself as a multi-family office that offers investing, tax, philanthropy and estate planning as well as “concierge and lifestyle management.”

Ronald Gong, a managing partner at Catalyst, is listed on tax forms for Musk’s foundation dating back to 2013. “

“Birchall also moved his family to Texas, buying a $2.25 million home in Austin in 2020. The listing for the five-bedroom house shows an ornate living space with columns in the foyer and elaborate iron work, with a pool and tennis court outside. “
“Excession relocated to Texas, too, along with the Musk Foundation, Musk’s school Ad Astra, and several of his other LLCs, all of which list Birchall as director, manager, chief financial officer, or some other title, including Neuralink, Musk’s brain-implant company, which lists Birchall as director and executive officer.”
