We are all Parag Agrawal on this blessed day.

The good thing of standing up to bullies in a privileged place like SF is that there is essentially no downside, only missed upside.

Also talking about missed upside...once your net worth is 10M (Parag should be there I think) you have "fuck you money" special powers over everybody including people like Musk, Bezos, Gates etc.

There is no amount of money that would convince a mentally stable and financially secure person to deal with these bullies bullshit.

Show them the finger without looking back, never love your passions more than you love yourself and your mental health.

That's way less than even yearly compensation as Twitter CEO.

10M? Did you mean billion? because that would be closer

Depends on each individual personality.

For me that number could be around 100k because I have no problems overriding my passions in order to not deal with bullies BS.

For some people their passions are strong so they need a higher number.

For some unfortunate people there is no number and put up with bullies because some craft has penetrated their brain so much that they cannot stop doing it .

Grandparent comment says in SF.

10m is not fuck you money in sf.

You can definitely spend $150+/yr in passive income in SF (or NYC or Miami), but at some point you have to realize that you're stuck on a hedonic treadmill and greed has graduated to avarice.

$10m is a monumental amount of money for one person to have, even in SF.

You can live more than comfortably on $10m in sf, but it's not going to go far for very long if you are blackballed from any work or other income.

But I guess in that case you might as well take the bag of money and go live not in sf.

10M is fuck you money precisely because it's not imperative to live in SF

Lol if you’re the CEO of a company and you’re knowingly scamming a buyer about your bot count, you’re not being bullied.

You’re being caught.

Parag is right, it turns out people don't like the feeling of pissing in the ocean. So many don't even bother adding a pic or changing their assigned username.

What you and deluded Musk call "bots" are the same demographics which creates throwaways on Reddit and also on here just to answer a comment which enraged them.

It's logical, and also proven elsewhere. It always amazes me the logical leap that cult members are willing to go through in order to elevate the cult leader who can't do no wrong.

No this was just Parag failing to read the room. You'd think a CEO of his level would appear more strategic when talking directly to a potential private buyer.

Regarding Twitter's failure to disclose the number of bots. Musk is well within his rights to squeeze the tomato before he makes a price offer.

Right, and that time was before he signed a $44B contract, which was the price offer.

Elon’s own data scientists agreed with Twitter’s bot count.
