He has tremendous EQ

His PR firm definitely does, this piece gives no indication of how Jensen is actually feeling or his EQ. I assure you he didn't draft this and push to a public website. There are literal investigations of national security implications, as well as billions on the line over this. This is the most strategic and controlled rollout of a story you will ever read. The wording is designed perfectly to minimize impact to stock:

1. take responsibility (by saying you take responsibility, hopefully there is no actual fallout from this). 2. Admit wrong doing (people hate someone who tries to cover up) 3. Talk about how much you love your family and how wonderful they are and you would never want to hurt them (relatable). 4. Write in a tone of sincere regret to avoid any public backlash (stock price depends on this).

He didn't seem to leverage that when deciding to have a prolonged affair.
