For more stories like this, I highly recommend "Never Lost Again" by Bill Kilday: https://www.powells.com/book/never-lost-again-the-google-mapping-revolution-that-sparked-new-industries-augmented-our-reality-9780062673046/1-0 https://www.powells.com/book/never-lost-again-the-google-map...
Kilday was a PM and marketing manager at Keyhole, the startup whose product was renamed Google Earth after being acquired.
His book includes stories and details on Google Earth, Google Maps, the huge amounts of $$$$$, and some of the personalities and politics involved (including Bret Taylor, author of the OP tweet thread).
