I would think the robbery would at least be capped at what he paid for the car, no? I guess "Woz is outraged he lost $15,000" has a different vibe to it.
- labrador 4y agoI assumed he was deep into the stock because he believed the FSD hype. Woz never impressed me as a great business man. Brilliant just the same.
- EricE 4y agoI think Woz got bamboozled because he wanted to believe. It's an easy trap to fall in - haven't we all gotten too emotionally involved in something at some point?
- labrador 4y agoI want my LaserDisc money back
- CharlesW 4y agoThe difference is that LaserDisk worked as advertised.
- acuozzo 4y agoOnly after Pioneer purchased the IP from DiscoVision Associates (the joint MCA-IBM venture) did the system approximate what the average Joe consumer would consider "working". I'd say some time around the introduction of the CLD-900, so 1985 or thereabouts.
- helf 4y agoLaserdisc was the bomb. And I miss mine.
- helf 4y agolooks at all the crypto and then LLM hype Nah.
- jbverschoor 4y agoHe was part of the efforce /$WOZX coin, especially during launch
- orange_fritter 4y agoHis whole thing is getting excited about technology, almost to a fault, without caring much about realism or financials. Combine that with brilliance and he is definitely a force for good in this world.
- greggarious 4y agoI thought he was implying he invested in Tesla itself? Also, just because you have a huge bankroll doesn't make money worth less. 15k is 15k, regardless of how much you have in the bank. It's valid either way to be angry about being mislead for a figure that would be a felony if merely yanked out of one's wallet.
- rcme 4y ago> Also, just because you have a huge bankroll doesn't make money worth less. Actually that's exactly what it means. Like pretty much everything else, money follows the law of diminishing marginal utility.
- tedunangst 4y agoAnybody who invested in TSLA in 2016 doesn't have a whole lot to complain about, imo.
- dahdum 4y agoHe's bought several Teslas according to news reports, so $15k/each in FSD could amount to ~$100k. His latest EV is a Lucid Air, sounds like he's done with Musk for a while.
- helf 4y agoHe should be done with Musk forever.
