“Unknown reasons” you immediately followed on with. It simply wasn’t illegal. Most people seem to consider it immoral but the messages have never been released so we don’t even know what was said. If not illegal it’s probably not horrific.
I prefer to reserve my commentary for when the facts are available. Contextually it’s suspicious but ultimately amounts to an unsubstantiated smear campaign until we see the chats or prosecution, of which we have neither.
I grew up hearing all the talking heads (media), religious groups and parents strongly criticizing video games. You’ve, probably, heard some of this. For example, video games involving any type of violence causing people to become more violent, etc. As far as I know, the academic community has failed to produce any negative...

He has 0 salary, he isn’t getting paid for any of this. Hence the end of the letter. You obviously didn’t even read it.
I expect everyone to roll up their sleeves and work hard. I’m not getting paid, so I’m either going down with the ship or turning the company around. I much prefer the latter.
No shit, he’s an activist that bought in and turned the company around when it was being run into the ground by consultants working for short sellers. He owns about 15%
Now compare that to executives with no personal stake in their company, making millions in salary and not giving a fuck about anyone else

Cyberpunk 2077's biggest mystery has unravelled even further in the Phantom Liberty expansion and Update 2.0, with some fans who got too close to the truth being (politely) silenced by developer CD Projekt Red.
While Elon’s then-partner Grimes was recording her part in the game as cyborg popstar Lizzy Wizzy, the erratic tech billionaire turned up with an antique firearm to “insist” on being included in the game. “The studio guys were like sweating,” Grimes is quoted as saying.
