> A couple of days before the interview, Benioff texted the same NPR colleague again, asking for intel on my story. Then he called me and demanded to know the title of this piece. During that call, he also mentioned he knew the exact area where I was staying. Unnerved, I asked how he knew, and he said, "It's my job. You have a job and I have a job." During the interview, he brings up more personal details about me and my family.

Sounds like the reporter should keep digging. You don't threaten someone for no reason...
Sounds like we should all start digging
Yeah, I was all ready to go with the interpretation that Benioff is just doing lots of philanthropy, and then that happened. Also:

> When I ask Benioff about the properties in the anonymous LLCs, things seem to take a turn. He starts speaking more quickly and fidgets with a piece of paper in his hand. He's reluctant to go through the holdings, and his adviser on the Zoom call jumps in to say we can discuss later.

It would be one thing to say, with conviction "I'm not ready to talk about those just yet, but when I am, I'll get back in touch". But to get cagey to the point that your advisor interjects and changes the subject? Not great.

Once again Silicon Valley was too on the nose with their Benioff portrayal https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aP5pt1bvutQ
How many more examples do people need that this entire class are purely power hungry psychopaths?
You’ll never talk them out of the belief system.
Sounds like benioff was out reporting the reporter
