Corrected Headline: Musk Raises Stink About Apple Advertising to Distract From Coming Deplatforming Due to Hate Speech, Child Pornography, etc.

1 - if you think you're extraordinary or want to be extraordinary you're almost certainly ordinary (and there is nothing wrong with that).

2 - the saddest thing about this very sad piece is the idea that "extraordinariness" is about accomplishments and success.

3 - I think it is fair to say that many actually "extraordinary" people would say that it is at best a mixed bag and not automatically something to feel jealous about. We live in a society where being "not ordinary" aka abnormal is not accommodated and often not accepted or tolerated - and where being right in the center of the bell curve of human experiences and realities means that the world is optimized for you.

If they have no other job prospects, are on an H1B visa, and are thus trapped at Meta I'd say "I'm so sorry." Otherwise I'd say, "You DO know you're directly contributing to the decline of humanity and destruction of millions of lives, yes?"

they suck. no question. all you can do is blackhole all facebook domains in your /etc/hosts file.

And people will, again, shout and scream (performatively) before quietly going back to mainlining Facebook's divisive outrage and misinformation. SMH.

Tick... tick... tick...

In all seriousness, how desperate would you have to be to entertain a job offer from Twitter right now?

The Mozilla that sows fear and asks for money is Mozilla Foundation. The Mozilla that takes hundreds of millions for Google is Mozilla Corporation. Mozilla Foundation owns Mozilla Corporation, but with one exception they don't share employees and have very different cultures and have independent marketing.

You're not a Twitter exec or FOE (Friend of Elon) by any chance are you?

"Never punch down"

But are we really talking about "assets" here?

"...it was CLAIMED that FTX.us was firewalled..."

And Musk has repeatedly demonstrated that he has no respect for legal contracts.

Enron....

They had no real board. They had no real governance. What's amazing is that large venture funds would put this much money into this kind of company without any board seats.

So... money laundering and drug deals (again) are the only valid use cases?

Among other things, he perjured himself in front of Congress.

ding ding ding! we have a winner!!!

This would like result in a 5 year "nuclear winter" for crypto VC FYI.

That sounds very frustrating and difficult. I'm really sorry. Do you have good professional care? Are you in a safe place?

"Cybertruck"

Can we now, at long last, kill the myth that Elon Musk is a business genius?

Former NYT writer here.... NYT, as far as I know, has always had a "top-down" directive that coverage be critical. That's, you know, the job of journalism and all. Non-critical pieces are opinion, not reporting.

THANK YOU!!!!!!

Ummm... no. Fully burdened costs is total cash comp plus between 25% and 35% as a general rule in the US.

That is not universally true. Sometimes it works like that, sometimes it doesn't. Depends on the buyer and given that this particular buyer doesn't seem interested in respecting legal contracts, I wouldn't be confident that it will work with Twitter as you describe here.

Nothing that is going on at Twitter is "normal"

Mozilla Foundation (non profit org doing this 'venture fund') != Mozilla Corporation (folks who build firefox)

Thank you!! People constantly conflate the Mozilla Foundation and the Mozilla Corporation.
