Things Jensen has said are now all suspect. Does he really believe this or is it just his day time positioning, in contrast to his nighttime positioning that cost him his job

Jensen has been one of the few outspoken billionaires for promoting higher taxes on himself. In fact, only he and Buffett come to mind as the members of that category.
Then again, below is a 2024 article from the NY Times claiming Jensen was taking advantage of loopholes to save $8 billion on taxes. I'm not sure whether playing by the existing rules is a sign that he wants lower taxes at the expense of everyone else, who wouldn't take advantage of loopholes while they exist? Any good accountant would recommend the same. The article:

It's not necessarily inconsistent. You can support improvements to the tax code while also excelling under its current version.
Saying you support then actually making it possible, something that every billionaire can easily do with how super PACs work is an actual choice.
Talking is the cheapest thing you can do and his actions say more. Rather than helping make a free and safer society for Americans, he chose to ignore export bans and work with an adversarial government.
