Elon’s comparable fuck-up was betraying Ukraine with his Starlink intervention. It’s a huge deal. Unlike Nvidia, he has no Board to hold him accountable, it will have to be done by the Congress and states. (Europe will be useless as usual.)
As a result, that hammer will fall much more directly on his companies. It will just take more time to do so.
Zuckerberg, to my knowledge, hasn’t compromised American security in a comparable way to these two.
I had this exact conversation about Jensen with a Silicon Valley executive checks notes on Monday night.
There is a bubble that doesn’t seem to see the wave of contempt across the American political spectrum for these executives.
Never said anything close to that.
I think it's horrible. And it's an issue that's gotten multiple Fortune 100 CEOs fired [1]. It's categorically distinct from corruption and compromise of national-security laws.

You're saying Musk didn't know Ukraine was using these terminals for war, including air defenses, for the last few years? Despite constantly tweeting about it? And doesn't know that's what they're being used for now? What?
The best evidence for this being more ketamine nonsense is that Musk initially lied about the cut-off having been Trump's decision. Unfortunately, this time his actions may have crossed into treason–when he did this, he gave aid and comfort to an ally of a country America was at war with (Iran).
Certainly feels to me like compromising American security
