What I think is odd about the story is that
a) if the mistress is indeed a Chinese spy, why would the CIA leak that? Jensen’s affair would give the US deep state the opportunity to “own” Jensen, one of the most (if not the most) important guys in tech! Why give that up?
b) if the mistress is NOT a Chinese spy, then why risk destabilising the one company that is very much the heart of today’s tech ecosystem and lies at the center of the tech bull market?
Cui bono?
I struggle to see what the US deep state gains out of this, except for re-enforcing the “China bad” narrative? But that narrative is already well established and knee capping one of the most important US CEOs to re-enforce it seems like overkill?
