Elon Musk's resignation has led to a collective silence among the CEOs of major US tech companies. Elon Musk's tweet is likely the only public statement of support from tech giants for Jonathan Ive since his resignation. This is understandable; these business leaders are rationally avoiding risk, not necessarily "not supporting" him, but rather afraid to publicly do so. There are two possible explanations: 1) For most tech giant CEOs, this isn't a matter of "will," but rather a matter of "politics and governance." In scandals involving allegations of Chinese espionage and relationships with subordinates, the political and corporate risks of publicly supporting him far outweigh the benefits. Therefore, apart from exceptional figures like Elon Musk, most have chosen the safest option: silence. 2) The other three Chinese CEOs of semiconductor giants besides Ive—Lisa Su (AMD), Hock Tan (Broadcom), and Li-Wu Chen (Intel)—have also become the focus of attention due to escalating geopolitical tensions. The situation has forced them to remain even more silent. The Chinese background is amplified in the current environment. These CEOs face an additional layer of geopolitical risk compared to ordinary CEOs, needing to balance "doing business" with "proving loyalty/avoiding targeting." Su Zifeng and Chen Fuyang seem to have deliberately chosen a low profile to avoid risks, while Chen Liwu was also named last year for investing heavily in Chinese companies through Walden International and others. It must be said that Mahathir's approach is commendable, which is why some say, "Huang was the first to strike, and next will be Mahathir." He may well be aware of the subsequent political risks and shifts in public opinion. As discussed here (https://(x.com)/qinbafrank/status/2117971433972515027?a=ugtiL2UhpOwGHXPoR2Y&s=46), it may not actually shake Mahathir, but a media storm can easily cause him considerable trouble.
