What will happen is he'll get a lot of press, he'll be a brash asshole, and a VC will give him a billion dollars for his company.

VC's arent that stupid but they might give him a couple mil in hopes that he can continue down the path and they can get 1bil wallstreet valuation and sell to a greater fool.

Tesla was almost that stupid

Hotz claims that Musk offered him a contract with a "multimillion-dollar bonus" if his technology outperformed systems used by Tesla, but the 26-year-old hacker says he turned down the offer because he felt, reports Vance, that "Musk kept changing the terms."

If his system even worked at an acceptable level they would have probably paid him millions. I just doubt it did/does and so hes probably making shit up because it sounds cool. Are you sure hes not the same guy that was behind no mans sky.
