> the moral standard that someone like Elon is being held

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.

You may think its a huge deal, but I guarantee nothing will come off this at all.

You don't think impregnating an employee is an issue? Shivon Zilis was a direct report at Neuralink.

Musk gave Ukraine Starlink with the condition it not be used for warfare. Ukraine used Starlink for warfare, thus, Musk took it back.

I guess you’re unfamiliar then with the ways in which Facebook failed to prevent (and therefore enabled) Russian interference in US elections over the past decade?

Certainly feels to me like compromising American security
