@alexisohanian @chamath There are going to be 3M followers of /r/WSB in a few days. Invest $3M into $GME. That’s roughly $1 per WSB follower and you’ll have amassed a loyal army behind you forever. When we’re done here, you’ll be renaming it from Citadel to Chatadel. 💎🙌🚀

@AutismCapital Pulling off a heist like this would require an elaborate amount of planning + doing recon undetected in someone's environment for a very long time. Possible that it's an external hacker. Unlikely.

I loved Creative Selection by @kocienda ! This book *actually* details what it’s like to design, prototype, build, test, refine, and iterate on real-world software. The anecdotes around closing the rendering gaps in Safari spoke to my heart.

@naval 5M+ people are more educated about how broken and twisted our financial system is. Imagine if 1% (50K people) harness their emotional energy and channel it to build something better. Today’s system can’t become obsolete if nobody builds. We have the tools. We need the people.

@Travis_Kling I never invested, but a few things: 1. You had ample time to withdraw. Why wait until Monday? This was a code red situation. 2. Isn’t the fund US-based? Weren’t you on FTX US? Again, you had until Saturday to act. 3. I’m surprised that client funds weren’t in offline wallets.

Satya Nadella did OpenAI Dev Day, GitHub Universe, MS Ignite, and saw India reach the Cricket World Cup finals. Heck of a run. In the last 48, he’s witnessed a coup at OpenAI and MSFT stock drop. India also lost in the finals. Brutal. Next 48 matters. Bring on Wartime Nadella.
