Because the circumstances of the CEO affair are inconvenient to the shareholders.

PS: Three! Three Hwang-mistresses so far, ah... ah... ah...

When it comes the Republican party here in the States, they only posture and clutch pearls only when a Democrat is scandalous. When Roy Moore and and Matt Gaetz were discovered preying on underage teens, they didn't even blink.

The Democratic party cuts into its own when there are sex scandals, even when it's grownup matters, like harassment of staffers or prior colleagues.

In general, company investors aren't part of a cult. SpaceX and Tesla are another matter, but in general it's about whether the company makes money or not.

Politics was already cultish. People would care more about the success of their team, rather than how their lives improved. When Trump came along the level of cultness went up a few notches.

Also, if it were just an affair it would be quickly forgotten. What matters is that it was an affair with a spy working for a government that's an adversary to the US. And he's the CEO of a company that is not allowed to export its most high-tech products to that adversary.

Ha, that's just goofy.

See Epstein files for details. What we have seen (like flight logs) proves you wrong.

Biden didn't do a thing.

(Bill Clinton, Dershowitz, Senator Glenn, and many others. Trump was just one of many)
