I literally just read an article 10 minutes ago saying he is expected to lead a tech industry taskforce for the Biden administration. Not a good look to be taking on a more involved role in US governance the exact same moment you're applying for citizenship of a different country.
- ocdtrekkie 6y agoLike, I really wish there was some way we could tell Biden like "yo, we voted you in, but please don't let Eric Schmidt in with you".
- aaronbrethorst 6y agoOppo dumps are a highly effective way to blow up someone's appointment in a new administration.
- slg 6y agoHe is up for the head of a taskforce and not a cabinet position. That means this is neither a particularly powerful position or one that will require any congressional or other approval. I doubt there is any real political motivation to leak this info. If this was leaked nefariously, my money would be on the motivation being personal.
- aaronbrethorst 6y agoIf this was leaked nefariously, my money would be on the motivation being personal. Yep, me too. If there is any truth to some of the gossip out there about his personal life, that would explain both the source and motivation for blowing this up for him.
- Rebelgecko 6y agoWhat was the source? An ex?
- markdown 6y agoHypocrites. They had Peter Thiel (who lied to the NZ govt to get citizenship there) in the Trump admin.
