Can this guy really be considered a CEO if GitHub is a fully owned subsidiary of Microsoft?
You know Microsoft, the company that is heavily invested in OpenAI and is spending hundreds of billions to try to make AI happen?

Yes. Microsoft owns them and tells them what their goals are, but the CEO has sole flexibility.

“Sole flexibility” to do as he’s told or get sacked.

Just like “real” CEOs have to answer to shareholders.

I don’t know what “sole flexibility” is, but if Microsoft owns them and tells them what their goals are, he must not have much authority.
