EDIT: While the above statement is correct, I'm an idiot and totally forgot that a former eBay CEO ran for governor of California and remains active in politics.
- smelendez 7y agoI thought that was either a reference to Meg Whitman, who has run for office, or Pierre Omidyar, who funded First Look Media, parent of The Intercept.
- the_watcher 7y agoOh, you're right. Facepalm moment for me, I definitely knew about Whitman and politics.
