Former CEO seems to think that the problems are spiritual

Often when worldly things fail, people turn to spirituality for guidance.

I don't think the former CEO thinks that is a spiritual problem, I think he just feels like there is nothing else that he could do.

I don't know if you missed the news but the board removed him and he retired[1] about a week before this tweet.

This has to be a parody account.

He’s followed by @IntelBusiness, Elon Musk, Venture Beat, and many other notables.

I doubt it’s a parody.
