No that's not what I meant. I'm not talking about the actual conflict or how it works. That's political discussion. My comment was specifically about the action of him posting the photo from a public relations perspective.
There is a controversial world event. Regardless of which side you're on, everybody agrees that there are many people with strong opposing views. As a representative of a company, he should have stayed away from the topic as a whole, because getting involved with it is a PR nightmare with essentially zero upside.
Not everyone puts the bottom line first, even among CEOs. In fact it's incredibly normal not to.
So what would you say the Vercel CEO is putting first here since this is clearly causing massive brand damage.
Well, presumably he's a massive fan of Israel's current administration and thinks everyone who disagrees can stop being customers and also pound sand. Either that or he's completely lost the plot.
LOL, unless that guy/the group like that guy can bring much more money than the customers/people hate it.
It might very well be the case. Vercel might have increasingly tougher time reselling AWS to small customers. So chance to resell AWS AI to countries might be great new market.
