I don't think very highly of Jack Ma, but eloquence for non-native speakers should be judged very differently, especially for someone coming from a language very far away linguistically.
- iforgotpassword 4y agoExactly, Ma was kinda struggling to get a train of thought across linguistically and half the time when Musk interrupted him he was rather making fun of some poor choice of words and being like "lol whatever" than trying to actually engage in a conversation. And I guess now with the Twitter shitshow Musk doesn't exactly look like a genius either.

- gordian-mind 4y agoWhat about laying off 75% of its workforce and open sourcing the twitter algorithm?
- kranke155 4y agoIs the company more valuable ?
- gordian-mind 4y agoWell it increases revenue, so certainly. The open sourcing increases its ethicality; I guess you could say it's not direct value. In terms of pure market cap, which I'm not sure how relevant it is, it seems that the current valuation (41 billion) is higher than when he offered to buy it (34 billion in April 2022).
