Interesting thread over on Twitter paints a broader picture involving the Saudis and the circle around Trump.

Oh my, gonna need a bigger tub of popcorn.

What an incredible thread! Once when Bezos was asked about Alexa in an interview, he said that if a nation state wanted to hack into your smartphone, they have the capability to do it. That's why I was so shocked to see Jeff send that stuff via text.

What doesn't shock me is that he would ask how they got those texts. In the thread you referenced, it sure sounded eerily similar to the Karma hack on iPhones, which has taken a long time to understand:

I wonder if Jeff had in mind that someone like the Saudis has a tool like that now that hasn't been uncovered yet.

I of course do not know many aspects of his life, but just based on what I read thus far, was shocked such relationship between apparently two very intelligent and educated people would come to an end in favor of what seems a mere erotic affair, that to me seems could end up being a hay fire. There are always deeper reasons and not easy to understand because they are hidden. It's a pity.
