No responsible board should sell as much as a paper clip to this sociopathic weenis piss baby.
Ultimately, the board doesn't control who can buy stock.
Now give me an example of a corporate board at Intel's scale being responsible when given the choice between being responsible or buttloads of short-term profits.
this is the company that at one time chose to buy mcafee.
But why!?
McAfee was a solid product in the beginning, it turned to crap after it's admittedly crazy founder sold it off.
Yeah, dude is straight bat shit, but he made a good product. Buying McAfee wasn't the mistake, ruining it was
I'd bet money McAfee has destroy more registries then it has protected.
Who gave him access to regex.exe?
What? It worked out for Twitter shareholders though.
What bothers me about all these political posts is when people act surprised when profit seeking people act purely in their self interest.
I agree it’s bad, but it’s weird to be constantly mad about things so obvious like parasites acting parasitically.
Responsibility, shockingly, can refer to more than making money.
I thought the weenis was a dance?
I thought it was the skin of the elbow.
I can lick my own weenis.
Is there a way to hide images on lemmy?
These are very annoying and obnoxious.
Responsible to who?
Of course they will sell if there's a profit to be made. Companies exist to make profits, if they can make a profit from it, it's actually their responsibility to the shareholders to do it.
Maybe you mean responsible in some way that has to do with morals, but if you think morals apart from staying within the law, have any say in this whatsoever, you are being very naive. That's not at all how the system works.
That said I don't see any other way than corruption for Musk to be interested. Musk buys Intel, and Trump doubles the subsidies to Intel and give them extra sweet government contracts. And everybody profit, except the stupid taxpayers including those that voted Trump.
Only the law helps super capitalist narcissists to stay at least somewhat within moral norms.
And in USA the law doesn't even count anymore. So there you go, everything is fucked up, until Americans figure it out. Which means it will be fucked up for a loooong time.
