From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm not trying to defend him, but it seems like he was moreso saying linux will never be a reactionary tool of principle. It seems more like an admittance that the AI is here to stay and theres little point in trying to pivot everything to reverse an unstoppable trend?
Linux has always been a tool of principle, and has long been an anomaly in what was the 'unstoppable trend' of monetizing usable software.
Defend him from what?
Defend him against the many that disagree or otherwise anti-support his comments in this article. Apologies if you were just being rhetorical
