Who is that "Jason C"?
Also, further down in the chat log there's this:
> [redacted]: Hey Elon -my name is Jake Sherman. I'm a reporter with Punchbowl News in Washington I cover Congress. Wonder if you're game to talk about how Twitter would change for politics if you were at the helm?
What's with the [redacted]? Does Musk give journalists insulting names in his contact list?
- metadat 4y agoJason Calacanis, a wealthy VC friend to elon. Check out the clickable link sources, it's interesting to see how cavalier billionaires are in their private life, the "hard work" consists of mostly just scheming. Not even data-driven in this case, only napkin math: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33475152 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33475152
- random314 4y agoJason Calcanis always had the worst ideas. Classic example of failing upwards. I remember Jason's mahalo which was supposedly a "human powered" search engine which would out compete flawed algorithmic search of Google. Mahalo eventually became a spam content generator for SEO. I think he was a tech journalist who failed upwards into becoming a VC. Which reminds me- what is parislemon up to?
