Microsoft's 50th anniversary celebration on March 4 was interrupted by pro-Palestinian protests that included a dramatic disruption by Indian-origin Vaniya Agrawal amid the company's ties with the Israeli government. She is a software engineer in the company's AI division. As Microsoft's former CEOs, Steve Ballmer and Bill Gates, along with current CEO Satya Nadella, addressed the crowd, Vaniya confronted them by saying, "Shame on you all. You are all hypocrites." While another woman began escorting her out, she continued registering her protest as other employees attending the event were captured booing her out of the venue. She later took to X and publicly announced her resignation from Microsoft while detailing her reason for quitting the company. Her outburst went viral online, and the video was shared on social media platforms.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Microsoft Completes 50th Anniversary: All Microsoft CEOs Bill Gates, Steve Ballmer and Satya Nadella Sit Together in AI Roast Session, Talk to Copilot.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천
