Probing questions, by me, here: https://twitter.com/jugurthahadjar/status/153713590102484582...

The person claims to have neither salary[0] nor equity[1].

- [0]: https://twitter.com/typesfast/status/1536703876505735168, "I don't take a salary".

- [1]: https://twitter.com/typesfast/status/1536735397644050432, "I also dont earn any equity for working here."

He says he doesn't earn equity, not that he doesn't have any. He's the founder of his company, he probably has quite a bit of equity.

Hence my subsequent tweets taking that into consideration. I was arguing to the strongest position of their tweet with regards to the no-equity/no-salary thing.

People often use "not earn equity" where the key word is "earn" and the short-cut is "additional" equity for demagogical, bull-shit, or con-manny reasons when they already had played the "no-salary" card. Don't ask me how I know.
