Agreed. We all knew this was going to happen, interns were complaining in advance that the qa would just be cringe questions about ICE.

This stunt totally missed the mark and prevented what would have been much more interesting discussion.

Misleading title, idiotic questioning. I was at this event, these three interns took the entire qa time to read a long rambling statement off their phone that made false allegations. Satya responded expertly including mention that microsoft's job is not to be sole arbiters in a democracy.

People were booing the students by the end of their long rant, which took valuable time from other participants. It was cringey and there was far far more applause for satya's answer than the question.

Microsoft employees don't care about this, and neither do interns. Internal support is fringe at best and this is just a lame hype piece. Also employees involved violated non disclosure agreements by posting event images.
