“Wenig tweeted the news, saying his professional passion was the application of disruptive technology to drive positive change and help people, and he noted that the transportation sector was going through enormous changes.”
“the application of DISRUPTIVE technology” is his passion. He finally speaks the truth. LOL
Disruptive Technology – heaven knows he brings enough of that to Ebay. Watch out GM if he gets his ideas in place nothing at that place will work, especially the final product that we all depend on. You will become the next FORD (Found on Road Dead) (Fix or Repair Daily) among other comments about it. That is what Ebay is quickly becoming known for.
Hey Devin, don’t you have enough issues at Ebay to try and actually fix to keep you busy?? Now you will spend even less time on our issues and also destroy another company by saying that China is their Future !!
So this is a guy they seriously want on their board to help with their enormous changes? Are you serious?
I’ve been an executive in my past life/lives……..no desire to be there again. It’s too full of blow hards like Wenig. I’m absolutely speechless. He likes to “help people”? What utter BS. Just 100% BS. Good luck GM. Get that molded press ready for the “This car made of 100% Chinese materials” that you’ll be embossing under the hood of every car you manufacture in 5 years.
Thanks to deep technological insights from newest board member Devin Wenig, GM has announced an exclusive revolutionary artificial intelligence app.
GM’s new smartphone app will allow prospective GM buyers to take a family portrait with an everyday mobile device, and through newly developed advanced predictive analytics in conjunction with GM’s neural-network harnessing the processing power of every GM driver’s mobile device, GM’s amazing new app technology will correctly determine the number of vehicle seats required to ensure every family member can ride in the vehicle in an unprecedented display AI integration into the lives of millions of consumers.*
Although GM hasn’t yet announced a name for their revolutionary app, both Android and iOS apps are planned for release.

Well, GM’s the leader in Chinese parts, so I’m sure he will fit right in.
In my own lifetime, I saw a gradual change where China went from being a hardcore socialist system (very nearly communist), then they start slowly turning towards a structured capitalist state. There has also been a very noticeable shift in US (France, UK, Greece, Italy) towards heavily socialist systems of governments. Some are very nearly done with the transition. The global economy is here to stay. Maybe soon there will be a global government as well. A global oligarchy seems to be taking shape and we could see such a monster in under 50 years.
Well, that pretty much ensures I’ll never buy another Chevy. Nice knowing you GM.
I can’t wait for the 2020 Escalade, the horn will sound like a gong and the interior will be made of bamboo and elephant grass fabrics.
“… disruptive technology to drive positive change and help people….” I would like to know how Devin drove positive change to eBay, and how he helped anyone but himself.
Manipulating stock prices for insider trading schemes? A lot of them do.
This is a joke right??? hahaha – I get it – no wait! does that mean he’s leaving? Hip hip hooray. Ebay’s fallen into such a deep dark hole now I can’t wait to see what happens over at GM. Glad I don’t own any stock there. Oh wait – I lost that stock the last time they filed for bankruptcy. Then what happened? They issued new stock. Funny how they didn’t give me back mine. Wenig is going to fit right in there with those losers.
Disruptive Incompetence at an auto manufacturer?….. I can see it now: A new model year every 90 days and GMAC buys Pay Pal. I bet they overhaul the warranty structure too. GM deserves this putz, they deserve one another. Who else is going to the board with him? Chau En Lai? The race to the bottom continues……. to Detroit !!!!
