please change "Trevor is a music producer and DJ" to "Trevor is a student a McGill University studying electrical engineering. He works on a student team building electric cars." because he stopped making music and is in school now so the previous facts are not accurate. Source Below

  Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Orvilletalk 15:07, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
The source you've provided lists him as a team member (PCB Lead), but makes no mention of him no longer producing music and being a DJ, nor that he is studying electrical engineering. Orvilletalk 15:09, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

Net worth source unreliable

I have placed the "Unreliable source?" next to the $400 million net worth citation in the infobox. The reason is that the figures provided in the linked article, which was written by a freelance contributor to Investopedia, does not substantiate a $400 million worth, especially given the concerns raised on this talk page in 2016 by FinnHK.

Looking around the internet, I see "$400 million" is frequently republished by a variety of outlets, none of whom substantiate it, and I fear that Wikipedia is being used to promote an untruth. Thus I would like to call for a more reliable basis for this information. Midnight whisper (talk) 02:47, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

Three months have passed with the "Unreliable source" tag applied, and nothing has been put forth to support the net worth figure, so I have removed it from the page. Midnight whisper (talk) 08:20, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
