    Guy seems like an idiot. Is he trying to get the VCs to not want the IPO? And he is praising elon about running a company into the ground.

      I still don’t understand how, but there’s loads of people who think that Musk is doing an amazing job and should be emulated in all situations. I’ve mostly seen it in other narcissists but this guy might also just be a simp.

    I just don’t understand the purpose of this guy’s interview tour and insistence on trying to make the developers the villain. It would simply be better for the brand if he said absolutely nothing.

      Because the controversy is drumming up news. He’s the face of that and it’s all for the IPO.

      No publicity is bad publicity and all that, but he’s also getting ahead of all the other news so that anyone possible investors might be interested.

      None of this is for us anymore. Not us the former users, the current users or us “regular people”. He and his handlers are trying to drum up publicity for big money.

        Publicity and trying to get ahead of the message are one thing. But on the other hand, he’s telling blatant lies that are easily refuted with audio recordings, transcripts, the actual e-mails, etc. I’m guessing there’s actually some revenue impact already for him to go from “It’ll pass” to this freakout they’re having over there.
