The former pro gambler became a top adviser to Musk's wealth manager. According to the Wall Street Journal, Musk has been relying on a new adviser who isn't welcome by Musk's wealth manager. According to the report, Kurganov moved to Texas to help put together a security team and manage the CEO's fortune. During the Pandemic, he and Musk talked about how the billionaire could use his money for the good of the world.
The cost of flying out a group of women with a background in robotics from Afghanistan was something that was not something thatKurganov was comfortable with.
He told the Journal in an email that he was surprised at the total cost because he was trying to work out the expenses.
The Musk Foundation gave over twenty million dollars in 2020.
In an email seen by the Journal, Chris Carberry said that Kurganov made the day to day donation decisions. According to the report, Birchall didn't support the move as he thought the former poker player could influence how Musk spent his wealth.
Birchall was worried that Musk could be investigated by the FBI as he found out that the agency was looking into the case.
Birchall was concerned about how quickly he was brought into Musk's inner circle, but he was not accused of any wrongdoing.
Birchall didn't think it was appropriate for a newcomer to have a key role in how Musk spends his money. According to the report, Birchall asked Musk to get rid of Kurganov's role from the foundation in May.
The long-time wealth manager was one of the key figures in securing financing for the deal. The Journal was told by a representative that the email address for the Musk Foundation had been disconnected.
The Wall Street Journal has an article about it.
