Notably, it does get folks incensed, and it’s a good way to take out a senior leader if all other leverage fails.

It’s clearly some kind of hit piece. Dumb of Huang to have stepped on whatever landmine he did, let alone allow himself to get this exposed, but whatever.

Is it that hard to keep your wiener out of people who report to you? Why is the reaction "this is really common and it's unfair to target this guy" and not "at least one of them is finally seeing some consequences, now let's hope there's more to follow"? Apparently having and expecting basic ethics is "pearl clutching." Fuck that. If powerful people are commonly awful and I expect better from them, that's a problem with them, not with me.

Of course he should be fired for this.

The reality - at these levels - is that to rise to these levels typically requires that others involved feel comfortable they have enough leverage on you that they can force you out ‘quietly’ if they need to do so.

Post election ‘cleanup’ in approach?

Change in expectations on future growth trajectory?

Someone with their own interests (shorting the stock) got too much leverage?

This is already costing individual folks billions, and shareholders hundreds of billions. that kind of thing often involves someone’s ‘chess moves’, even if it’s just them blowing up in their faces.
