Wow. This is a shock only to people who don’t use Twitter much. Or maybe just the naive? Utterly predictable. Look at all the hate speech!!!
Also, since Brisket loved the first piece by this guy. Here you go
Diving more into Sam and FTX
pretty damning report.
If I put on my tinfoil hat though I don’t see him going down. He’s contributed a lot of money to the right causes, associated with the right elites and is a vocal enemy of Bitcoin in favor of other centralized shitcoins.
The argument is that all of Silicon Valley have bloated workforces. Pretty sure most of the big companies have cut jobs. Not 50% though.
Given that the All-In guys are involved, this episode gives a little more insight into what might happen. Starting 3 minutes in, and about 25 minutes long. They discuss Elon closing Twitter and what should happen now.

This is good news if you’re rooting against dumpster fire. I hadn’t seen any official notification.
Sacks was COO under Elon. Noted conservative. Calacanis is Elon buddy, angel investor. Liberal. Two different voices for him with regards to moderation.
The podcast is a good listen. Rich Silicon Valley guys. Includes Chamath as billionaire megalomaniac, liberal. Friedberg is science VC guy. Analytical.
All smart guys that are friends, but disagree quite a bit with each other. Views all over the place so you’re bound to be triggered by something. It’s an entertaining podcast.
This could be the last shoe to drop. It explains Sam’s flagrant efforts to curry favor from politicians and other elites.
P
I hope he goes belly up. What a fucking statist scumbag.
This is what really is upsetting y’all. Would’ve never happened two weeks ago. White House subsequently took down the tweet.
It doesn’t have to be secretive to be wrong and dispel the myth that Twitter was private and never got input from the government.
