Well like most CEO’s he gets paid no matter what so he doesn’t have to think. That’s the problem.

Imagine getting millions of dollars to ruin a company. The concept is insane to me.

I checked for you and good news!

Tap for spoiler

He isn’t involved in much except investing in mobility aides and was apparently on the Planned Parenthood board for a while. Quick search showed his most recent activity was being the single largest donor to Mark Kelly’s 2020 senate campaign. Completely normal progressive liberal stuff.
