I find it hard to understand that the head of Mozilla foundation
is paid nearly $7 million for the important job to run the foundation.
Linus gets paid $1,5 million (from the Linux foundation).
I think given the central position and importance of Linus compared to
the head of the Mozilla foundation seems a bit off.
A little while ago Linus announced that they had lost power at their home
due to a large storm.
I was picturing large corporations sending in giant Tesla batteries and
diesel generators and hooking it all up in hours. (free of charge of course).
but as far as I know it did not happen.
It might have if he asked for it I suppose.
Linus seems like a most humble guy, given his celebrity status, his life's work and his high importance to the world.
(I do see things that he has several other income streams than just the Linux Foundation so that s good)
- rqtwteye 3y ago"I find it hard to understand that the head of Mozilla foundation is paid nearly $7 million for the important job to run the foundation." That's pretty insane. I used to view Mozilla as "good guys" but it seems they are more like a lot of other non profits that are run mainly for the benefit of their executives.
- ametrau 3y agoI believe a good size chunk of that 7 million comes from Google. Which is a pretty strong conflict of interest.
- wmf 3y agoLinus doesn't bring in any revenue or manage the foundation. He's more like the CTO of Linux. Mozilla has over $500M revenue and almost a thousand employees.
