Seems like the CEO is definitely worthy of one.

Poor kid earned one, worthy or not, as a Father’s Day gift to his dad. Ultimate irony. Only person on board for whom I could have shed a tear actually…

Let’s see, the CEO completely ignored industry experts telling him the thing was unsafe and not suitable for the depths he was planning on going to. He then told them thanks, but I’m doing it anyway and safety is for wusses (I’m paraphrasing). I’d say it’s a solid Yes they he qualifies.
