I'm not a fan of Satya, but you are trying to start a flame war. This is what Satya is on record saying

"I believe men and women should get equal pay for equal work. And when it comes to career advice on getting a raise when you think it’s deserved, Maria’s advice was the right advice. If you think you deserve a raise, you should just ask."

He also said "[I] Was inarticulate re how women should ask for raise. Our industry must close gender pay gap so a raise is not needed because of a bias"

So you've made a conclusion because he said something that was wrong and silly. I would go as far so say that it's a big leap of faith that you've drawn, or that you're trying to be inflammatory on purpose.

Now it would be more accurate to say that Microsoft is seeing how much money Facebook and Google make from knowing people's secrets.

It's not fair to quote Nadella saying "I was inarticulate". That comment only happened after, as Wikipedia puts it, "a strong backlash". Melissa Waggener (a very smart lady who I've met) probably gave him a good talking to.
