My prediction, he was fired because he doesn't take the risk of AGI seriously enough. The next CEO is going to end up here a lot. Because that would be the silliest option, them ignoring the stories from his sister, any embezzlement or harassment but full on going 'he picked stopping the torture instead of stopping the dust specks'
