After losing billions on WeWork investments, SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son says he still loves and respects ousted founder Adam Neumann

more than $18 billion into coworking startup WeWork, which SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son has since called a "foolish" decision. WeWork went from a massive $47 billion valuation in 2019 to a failed IPO, along with ousting its founder and CEO Adam Neumann — but Son still has positive things to say about Neumann.

At The New York Times DealBook conference, moderator Andrew Sorkin asked Son about what lessons could be learned from WeWork. Son said that Neumann is "a smart guy" who knows he's made mistakes. He believes Neumann is telling himself that right now. "I think he's a smart guy, an aggressive guy" who has capability as a great leader, Son said. "Any human makes some mistakes.

Of SoftBank's role in raising WeWork's profile, "I'm part of the responsibility for his mistake" Son said. "I still love him...I still respect him," he said of Neumann. Son said that he believes Neumann will go on to do "great stuff" in the rest of his life. "Someday he will be very successful, he will say he learned a lot."
