This is my guess. He probably knows a sale is happening and doesn't want to provide value to the new owner. Probably because he has a competitive portfolio company or something.
- RickS 10y agoThat sounds petty and spiteful in a way I wouldn't expect from him, especially so publicly. Also, as valuable as his presence is, I can't imagine a buyer of the size needed to buy Twitter would be like "we'll give you n Billion, but only if pmarca stays on point"
- catherinelgrs 10y agoPerhaps Facebook is interested and Marc decided to stop tweeting to avoid conflicts? Not sure why he would delete the (public) history, though.
- exstudent2 10y ago> That sounds petty and spiteful in a way I wouldn't expect from him, especially so publicly. He was pretty notorious for blocking anyone with an opposing viewpoint on Twitter, so this seems in line with that.
- tamana 10y agoMore likely because he might be involved in a company that would have a quiet period related to a potential sale
- a_small_island 10y agoThis is nonsense.
- prawn 10y agoCould a buyer get access to his direct messages?
- hackaflocka 10y agoThis could be a legitimate concern of his. But I would guess that even if he were to delete everything, Twitter would still have permanently archived undeleted copies (Facebook does that apparently).
