Former Google CEO Is Helping the Pentagon, Just as a Personal Thing, Yep, Definitely Not for Any Other Reason

The Pentagonannouncedan strange raw programme calling for hacker to test its digital security department today , as well as a “ Defense Innovation Advisory Board . ” Google CEO and Alphabet Chairman Eric Schmidt will head the board — but , if you ’ll consider Wall Street Journal sources , this is all for his own personal satisfaction , not a “ company enterprisingness . ”

Hmmm . The Wall Street Journalreportedon the tech mogul ’s new after - study gig :

Mr. Schmidt ’s appointment to the instrument panel is n’t a society opening move , but rather a personal move , concord to a person familiar with the tech giant . Mr. Schmidt is await to advise the Pentagon on good pattern in innovation , rather than address for the company , the person said .

As WSJnoted , thing have n’t always been so matey between Google and the Pentagon :

Defense Secretary Ash Carter said Wednesday that he ’d lie with Mr. Schmidt for a long time . Mr. Schmidt ’s appointment comes after a period of cooler relation between the Pentagon and the Google parent that he helps go .

Hey , I approximate if this confederation leads to a reciprocally good relationship between the Pentagon and the bally enormous engineering company Schmidt head , that ’s just a passing great by-product of an incredibly rich and powerful corporate figurehead helpin ’ out as a personal affair .
