I mean, I guess he gets a tiny fraction of that, since this won’t ruin his company or him financially for the rest of his life if it doesn’t work out, nor does he actually put in the work any further than a phone call that his assistant sets up. The rest is all done by various departments, all he does is wait for an email saying it’s been recieved.

It wouldn’t be the only thing but I think there’s a nonzero chance that something like this is one key step in a spiral that forces Intel into bankruptcy. Their inability to get their foundry business off the ground currently threatens their long term prospects, and if they get stuck in a place where the government won’t trust them because they don’t have customers, and the customers won’t trust them because they don’t have the money, then that might truly lead to the end of the company, with his business decisions taught in business schools as a case study.

That’s a great point. Don’t want the poor whittle CEOs to have to actually do any work for their ridiculous salaries.
