Personally I am actually dead against citizenship-based taxes. But in this case, it's American sourced funds, from an American company, by a guy whose family voluntarily brought him to the US for what it has to offer, it is just pushing it.
It's called "globalization" and "free market competition". The more the US tries to fight it, the more they shoot themselves in the foot and risk alienating additional great minds and make them move elsewhere. Yes, the US is still the greatest thing since sliced bread, but I'd put money on that no longer being the case in a decade or two.
