Linus is completely one of the most ruthless capitalists. The pace he makes his staff follow shows that he doesn’t really care about them but the money they generate.
I think it might be more the fact that he is a workaholic and expects everyone else to be. But yeah, I don’t think he is quite as progressive as he thinks he is.
It’s easy to work a lot when you get rewarded for it. Employees are almost never actually rewarded for working harder or more. It’s honestly the most privileged capitalist lie to tell others how their actions help “us” when all they will receive is another paycheck but the capitalist can use the gains to expand their investment or give themselves massive bonuses or wages.
Also easy to work a lot when you decide what your job is, I’ve worked tirelessly this week doing important market research, networking and product development… I sat on YouTube, chatted to friends and day dreamed about things I could do in the future.
If Linus feels like playing with a gaming rig then that’s what he does, good staff don’t have that luxury so it’s a totally different ball game
I don’t think he cares about money, he cares about having fun and public recognition. So he works his people really hard towards that end even if they can’t handle it.
I mean if he straight up said 500$ what other excuse is there?
On his initial (bad) response he says that it’s because the outcome wouldn’t be affected because the product is “bad”. But no way in hell Linus is THAT stupid, ie to think that a 3090TI block would work the same on a 4090.
I mean since he has the lab and all he could have just sent it to them to verify if the cooler makes good contact with the dye and other chips on the 4090 and verified it with billet like how they’d compare CPU scores with AMD.
But all of that takes drumroll time (and therefore money) and money!

His reasoning for not testing the bilit labs waterblock further was $500
He is stingy yes, but I feel like that was also an excuse for not wanting to redo stuff.
