He is changing the course of history, maybe even more impactful on a global scale than colonial conflict

I'm dying to know how other tech CEOs rank on your "historical figures ordered by importance" list. Like, do you think Steve Jobs was more or less important then Harriet Tubman?

Globally? Honestly he probably was. Hundreds of millions of people have access to heath and finance resources they wouldn’t have got without the modern smartphone form factor and forced negotiation of unlimited data plans.

Ask someone in Bangladesh who the fuck Harriet Tubman is.

AIUI, the rise of mobile telephony in the Third World was driven almost entirely by feature phones, not the kind of smartphones that Jobs helped to drive.

Telephony, yes. The services that are making massive impact now are dependent on smartphones.

Screw the stock price. If you looked into the history of how the company survived you know the company is now Intel. The US has probably lost yet another industry to China. Wonder if the Taiwan investments into the US fabs will now slow because a lot of them were relationship based...thanks to Jensen.

I hope I am wrong but I am starting to think the US left is about to walk into a historical economic collapse that they are inevitably increasing the chances of by 'doing the right thing'.
