it is amazing that it took a whole month between "god, what are you idiots saying? of course the man can run a website? he owns two other companies" and "actually uwu i don't wish him to fail but this was the last straw"
i am so mad about this that it has me this 🤏 close to tweeting again
one of the top replies for me is "he's owning it" and no he isn't, he's just saying a new thing now, that's not admitting he was wrong to say the smug thing before!!
I feel like all of the VCs and techbros except Thiel legitimately thought that EM could actually do this, and are just completely blindsided by how badly this is all going. (Jack is also expressing his confusion about this.) But Thiel, on the other hand, I'm pretty sure he just wanted Twitter destroyed and encouraging EM to buy it was a way to get that done without spending any of his own money.
