People dunking on her wife have no idea of the story behind Michael Dell

He became a billionaire at 25.

Took his company private. Bought it back. Then built one of the greatest comeback stories in tech.

And he did it with the same woman by his side since 1989! Yes, that is 37 years. 37.

They built an empire together

Anyone can upgrade a toy.

He stayed loyal when you don’t have to.

They have been through everything together:
- Company went public
- Company got cooked
- Company got built back
- Raised 4 kids (incredibly successful too)
- Donated billions

Have fun making fun of him

@elsleightholm @mathandcobb Imagine wanting to stop scientific progress for all of civilization because you’re jealous of a calculator.

The King of Hostile Takeovers

Larry Ellison fought hostile takeovers the way Napoleon fought campaigns.

He chose the moment of maximum vulnerability, committed fully and attacked the target’s weakest point:

Got to see Ghost In The Shell for the first time tonight with @DavidSHolz and the @midjourney folks.

Incredible.

I wonder what media we consider utter fiction today will be seen as this prescient in 30 years.

@CiprianiRanieri Well… the other day I did WhatsApp outreach to 6 businesses.
5 replied.
1 ended signing up for a free account.

@Cevdet_Aydin_ @CiprianiRanieri How much volume?
To avoid banning/spam issues

[Arc @c199benzene]

@CiprianiRanieri I’d double down on this by using multiple mailboxes instead of pushing too much volume through one. Keep each mailbox around 10 highly targeted cold emails a day and monitor deliverability.
