We here at Aftermath have long been recommending that Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney log off, for the sake of both himself and the company he's in charge of. Over the last 24 hours that advice has escalated into "seek help immediately".
In recent days Sweeney has read the same Jensen Huang news as the rest of us, and rather than land on some combination of "lol" and "uh maybe there's serious international trade shenanigans here, this seems bad", has come to a different conclusion.
Sweeney sees a fellow tech billionaire laid low by...the US government? Who leaked information on the situation to journalists, who have "dubious motives"? Which makes this a "sad day for...America, and all humanity?" And not only has he thought all that, he has decided to post about it in a public forum?
He has also begun repeatedly posting the slogan "Save Jensen", which I'm guessing is an attempt to whip up popular support among the common man on X, The Everything App, for the beleaguered Huang, who has a personal net worth of over $1 billion and a collection of embarrassing leather jackets.
This is truly unhinged behaviour.
