Who is Gollum in this cut?

[keepamovin]

Literally it can only be the one person to have not let go of their board seat. Who might that be?

Smeagol D’Angelo

[keepamovin]

Just following up, it's also totally Smeagol-like to make people sign up before they can get any useful answers at Quora. True Gollum move, D'gelo. Thanks for showin' yer true colors!

I could see Gollum run around a stage yelling Developers! Developers! Developers! no problem.

Steve Ballmer is Gollum?

[Dah00n]

Eh, well, that wasn't what I meant exactly, but I can see how it could be read that way..

Gollum wasn't a fan of anyone but him having the One Ring. Analogy doesn't not fit.

Elon was once "in possession" (influential investor and part of the board) of OpenAI, but it was since taken from him and he is evidently bitter about it.
