ITT: a bunch of people who don't understand how dividends work on stock ownership. He's not collecting a salary, Microsoft is not actively paying him, he's just an investor who owns a shit ton of stock.

I don’t care if Microsoft pays him a salary or not, hoarding that much wealth is a mental illness that can only be cured by a guillotine

is a mental illness that can only be cured by a guillotine

[–] Illuminostro@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

No, just the specific hoarding of more wealth than you could ever possibly spend.
