I'm not a huge fan of the CEO of two companies thing, but Jack has been interim CEO for 3 months. At least if they changed their position on this they've got the evidence that he can handle both roles.

You're missing the nuance of the question. If Airbnb is worth 1.5 million before selling 10% for 150k then after the sale they are still worth 1.5M they were valued at before the sale, but also have an additional 150k in the bank which
