@51foreveryoung @AlexaKilroy @realfunnyeric @GoogleAdsElite @elonmusk He paid less than $10m for majority control when the company was less than a year old. You’re making my point for me.

[Trent.404 @TrentSisson]

@AlexaKilroy @realfunnyeric @GoogleAdsElite @elonmusk So the plan was to buy a $44B company, create a $5B company and then rebuild to…what? If you took over a $5B company the $44B exit is the goal… if this was the master plan why not buy truth social for $1B and execute the playbook?

Honestly I now better understand how FTX raised so much money.

[Eric Bahn 💛 @ericbahn]

Ok, bear with me with this super naive question: so FTX minted Serum out of thin air to prop up their balance sheet…

…isn’t that essentially the same thing that the Fed does? Print cash out of thin air to prop up the US balance sheet?

Open to being educated here.

Update: company sources tell me that yesterday Twitter eliminated ~4,400 of its ~5,500 contract employees, with cuts expected to have significant impact to content moderation and the core infrastructure services that keep the site up and running.

People inside are stunned.

@elonmusk Does this include Russians impersonating Americans?

[Trent.404 @TrentSisson]

@Jason @Twitter You should buy @Sprinklr and transform twitter into a true digital town square. Then sell communication and insight services to businesses to better access the crowd.

@BillDA Use an agency like @accelerationpar to prevent this.

@Clearingfog_ It’s internal messaging and coaching for the management team. “We took you on as a client because you’re amazing - here’s all the ways why” + “remember buyers like these messages so make sure to repeat this”

[Trent.404 @TrentSisson]

@SullyBusiness I would vote adding the reference tweet should be mandatory for any subtweeting as the first new rule under @elonmusk’s ownership.

@sarthakgh Is it fair to say that Berkshire is below his line now?

[Trent.404 @TrentSisson]

@ArielleOrsuto Any additional commentary?

[Trent.404 @TrentSisson]

@marketplunger1 Fall in love with her passion (work or personal), talk deeply about it, and support her advancement. Expect the same in return.

@kkraeger @girdley The people in the gym will stick with you regardless. The non attendees will say they love the community even if they don’t really use it.

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

Puting does not realize that this is the first medieval siege of a city shared live on social media so people like me, on the other side of the Atlantic, feel besieged & shelled.
A lot of popular indignation & pressure on governments to act more aggressively.

@benthompson Regardless of prior criteria, once you have children your rating for every movie is solely based on the joy it brings your child. Full stop.

@TheCoolestCool Ask your agency to come back with a presentation on historical ROI and any potential improvement to pricing to prevent an RFP - immediate win for business

@thegeneralmills Too small for PE as a platform, but tons of MM PE firms that would love a $1M add-on.
