      Rock stars doing this stuff somewhat makes sense, it’s all in good fun, and who hasn’t had a crush on some celebrity singer or actor?

      but a CEO? Seriously?

        Sure, but as the CEO of one of the most valuable companies in the world, shouldn’t he think about how bad the optics of this are?

          This feels like similar energy to getting outraged about a tan suit.

          Were all involved parties consenting? That’s the only thing that matters.

          Plus on the optics side, we’ve yet to see if being in the Epstein files is bad enough optics for CEOs, so I think “signed something on an adult woman’s boobs when she most likely specifically requested/offered it” is entirely a non-issue.

            Good luck with your morals. Glad you’re fine with billionaires flexing societal norms. Go sign them boobs in public.

              Puritanical bs has nothing to do with morals, as much as some like to pretend it does. What harm are you trying to call out or prevent?

          literally the coolest thing he’s done

          should sign more tits instead of begging people to stop complaining about AI, maybe stonk price would go up more

            Celebrating nvidias big investment in Israel didnt help either. Daily killing of innocents continues while he ships pallets of money over. He’s not unique in tech CEOs being arseholes, but he’s definitely another trash human being. The world would instantly be a better place without most tech CEOs.

              eh, from a pragmatic business perspective…i see why they all bend the knee. capitalists are by their nature universal opportunists. they will show loyalty to israel up until the moment it looks like they don’t have control over the US’s collar, the moment that happens though they do a 180.

              same way so many “pro-lgbtq” businesses flipped to anti-dei narrative the second it looked more profitable.the only thing sacred under capitalism is your line going up, everything that doesn’t directly service that goal day-to-day is performative

          Hm gotta be honest, I don’t give a shit about optics, especially since that asshole is plenty bad regardless.
