He's broken the rules all his life without suffering any consequence. Even if he doesn't realise on an intellectual level, he knows you can get away with anything if you're at a certain level of wealth just from experience.

One journalist even died from her injuries and nobody even got named for that one.

Yeah, anyone that's had a job for any significant amount of time realises that the people at the top aren't there because they're somehow smarter. Quite the contrary.

Also, WFH is good for their sales. I don't understand how someone like the CEO of Zoom didn't get that simple fact.
