So what's the justification for the feds being involved? What other state is involved other than NY?

Dont know the guy.
Isn't it fucked that they're doing this for this guy just because he's rich?

The least I would do it for is 1 million, or a little over 1 single month of his outrageous salary. You would think 1 month of pay is easy to offer.
Maybe if they offered a course of chemo-therapy and cut it off after one round...

People are gunned down every day in the streets, cops barely investigate it. What gives this guy priority?

The fbi is now on the case for a murder of a man on the street. They wouldn't pull these resources for any other murder.
This is a joke.

Nope. Still not snitching. Fuck that ceo.
How much for information related to literally any other unsolved murder in the US?
Can anyone give even a bad reason for a reward this high that doesn't involve the wealth of the target? Just for the sake of it, I'll take even the most tortured argument that doesn't relate to the fact that he was a CEO.
Easy. It makes other powerful people feel uncomfortable that this could happen to one of them.
They know they can get away without justifying this disproportional response.

Damn, $50,000 - Gov really don't like the idea of someone being able to kill a rich person and getting away with it
He is in Washington Square Park, dozens of them!
I just read that it was only half a dozen participants and a couple of dozen observers, but people didn't exactly have a lot of time to get their outfits ready.
I hope to see pictures of that event!
they're desperately fishing for info from homeless people. because $50K is a king's ransom when you're sitting on $0
they would be inundated with bogus "tips" if the reward were $5.00
all of this just demonstrates that they don't have the first goddamn clue
So 0.5% of his reported $10+ million annually compensation package.
Interesting that neither his colleagues nor family are chipping in to make this larger.

Is this a lot? Like what’s the average reward for someone who shoots someone dead in America?
Well, considering that Americans have to pay for health insurance in one way shape or form, and it likely comes out of their paycheck every month if they get benefits, no. It's not.
Because we all have to pay an ass load of what we worked for for something we don't necessarily need at the moment, but when we do, we'd really fucking like to.
In 2012 the total bill a relative got for their heart attack (or maybe stroke, I can't remember it was bad) was $2m. Had they not had insurance that covered it, that's how much debt they'd be in. In 2012. Fast forward to now. Yeah, a lot of insurance covers stuff like that. But a lot of people only have the insurance that covers absolutely the bare minimum.
Which is how you end up with people having poor health, subsequent heart attacks, or strokes, etc. Preventative medicine would keep those far rarer than they currently are.
So, no. $50k isn't a lot. Its an insult. It's an insult to the $20k/year people pay for something they can't use. Instead that $20k/year could go to a universal health system where you don't wait until you end up in the ER to get medical care. It's an insult to the people who are saddled in medical debt by denied claims. Its an insult to doctors who give the care a patient needs. It's an insult to the healthy people who understand they aren't invulnerable.
$0
sure that's the payout but what's the average offered?
at least in my locale, Up to $5000 for information that leads to an arrest/conviction.

He got out 🙌🏽
The amount of grief and strife this man caused to countless families through the actions of his corporation are beyond calculation.
50k won't even register.
So like, 1% of his annual salary?
So like, 1% of his annual salary?
Not even that. He earned $10.2m/year. So $50k would be .49%. Don't miss the decimal point there. $50k is slightly less than 1/2 of a percent of his annual salary.
If he never took PTO and worked 5 days a week and 8 hours a day for the entire year (admittedly, CEOs can frequently need to work more than than 40 hours a week) he would be earning $4903/hour. So this $50k bounty offer represents slightly more than 10 hours of what they pay the CEO in salary.
$4903/hour
Ok, this is a much better perspective. And he was "just" a millionaire, now what about billionaires...
And he was “just” a millionaire
This term "millionaire" being synonyms with "rich" really needs to be updated for 2024 with all of the inflation by now. A household that saved $1m by the time they retire at age 65 would technically be "millionaires". That would give the household $81k/year. $81k/year to spend for a household in retirement isn't bad, of course, but I don't think anyone would look at that household and think that the couple living there would be considered "rich".
now what about billionaires…
Now that one is absolutely still "rich" by every measure.
Not rich, but 81k/year is just under twice what I’m making right now ;-;

About $27k per minute for Musk.

Seems like they don't want to find him. Good on them.
Offer some Universal Healthcare maybe.
With all claims pre-denied? Hardly worth it.
5X upgrade in bounty from $10K offered by crime stoppers. Investigation must be drying up. Probably be up to 6 figures by end of month
The longer it takes, the less likely they'll find him no matter how much money they put up.

Society is offering $50,001 to shut the fuck up.
They'd have better chances if they offered the former CEO's one month's pay.
