NGL this is just silly. He had an affair, which is like a must-do for any CEO of a big company. There are still memorials for people who did way worse but a plaque for the founding of one of the most impactful tech companies gets taken down …
Wich state secrets ? Afaik he only sold GPUs to them, the ones that are available on the open market but shouldn’t be available in China. And again there are monuments to people who were traitors in the Civil War, which is unarguably a worse crime.
Lmao affair is the least of terrible things he did, but if people think it’s ok to just cheat on your partner it explains why everyone is so happy to support assholes in power.
It’s not ok or not ok. It’s none of our damn business who he bones off the clock.
But the issue isn’t the affair or having side-ass. The issue is one of the women he was boning was a spy and the others were subordinates.
You might be able to wave-away the spy as “oops, got honey-potted” but there is no universe in which it’s ok to fuck people who work for you. This shouldn’t really be a tough sell in this community.
it’s not okay to cheat on your partner. that said, the public outrage at affairs is always a mix of at least 2 things: cheating on your partner, and the general concept of having sex with multiple people whilst married
Fell for a honey pot? Lmao he had sex with a woman who helped him sell billions worth of export controlled goods through her shell company. He was not a victim in any way there.
I mean the implication IS coercive. One of the most powerful men in the world, let alone your industry, and explicitly can control your means to living, tells you to do something… Worse yet a thing that has historically been a source of retribution for refusal for WAY to long.

It’s that whole “being a traitor to our nation” deal. This has nothing to do with infidelity. It’s the state secrets, of course

American jingoism is the gift that keeps giving.
Seriously. Who gives a shit?
Everyone the US keeps fucking over.

We don’t know if he cheated. That would mean his wife was unaware. They could have an open relationship

No no. He fell for a honey pot and coerced two employees to cheat on his wife.

That is much worse actually
Source? Sure, it’s usually not very ethical and very bad optics because of the implication, but I haven’t heard anything about coercion.

It’s coercive just on the ask.
