This is the kind of contract law that I would find absolutely fascinating to learn more about. Are there contracts that say "My price goes up if you keep access to your twitter account." or "I charge 10k more for every tweet you make."

Just hire someone to follow Linus around all day and give him a smack every time he tries to type something.

I'm sure there'll be no shortage of candidates

Pay me $60k a year to hit Linus with a newspaper every time he starts to open his mouth.

but not before Linus managed to manifest a rake out of thin air just to step on it by going "I've never cheated on my wife and to prove that I will list all of my sexual partners:" to everybody's profound confusion and disgust.

I recall the Naomi Wu thing ended with her discovering she missed some followup email from Linus that made the whole thing above board (just incredibly stupid since he basically exactly followed the playbook of trying to proposition her anyway), but not before Linus managed to manifest a rake out of thin air just to step on it by going "I've never cheated on my wife and to prove that I will list all of my sexual partners:" to everybody's profound confusion and disgust.

Naomi Wu is a Chinese woman who has some very unique content but she has a long history of being a huge drama factory, sometimes justified (multiple journalists basically tried to get the CCP to black van her), sometimes completely unjustified. She's by her own admission significantly mentally ill and sometimes that gets in the way. I mean it's not like saying this is going to help but do not drag her into this poo poo, she's just going to start flailing and hurting herself again.

Yes, obviously everyone who is not cut out to be a CEO is an awful person who is terrible to be around and has no redeeming qualities. Slick CEOs are well noted as being the best spouses.

There are some seriously funny posts in this and the GPU thread over the past few days. Linus is a dink but just LOL if you think you wouldn't be at least 90% as bad if you stumbled into as much success as he has.

Counterpoint: Most people smart enough to start and run a successful large company probably know when to shut the gently caress up when every time they speak it does more harm than good.

I'm suggesting she clearly has to love him because the money couldn't make up for how often and severely he makes an rear end of himself.

Right, and my point is that his lack of the qualities that make a good CEO is more likely associated with him being a good spouse than not being a good spouse. Being honest and open, trusting and expecting trust is great in a marriage, and loving horrible in business.
