A GM at Ford won't be paying this. That's for jabronis and randoms who want to pitch nonsense.
I think the price is fine. Mostly it's a form to say "I don't want to talk to you." He could just say that, but people would be mad as well. No reason to take phone calls from random "business development" people anyway as a startup.

They could just as easily not say this, and it would be better. I suspect HSBC doesn't take random meetings with dudes with Bitcoin trading strategies, but they don't say that on their website, instead they have uninteresting stock photos and taglines that say "you can trust us with your money". This is the root of the problem, the company markets and communicates in a way that says "we're a bunch of hackers that don't care what you think", and that's not appealing to most people.
- georgehotz 2y agoA GM at Ford absolutely will be paying this if they want a phone call. Joining our Discord is free however.
- icelancer 2y agoI stand corrected. Still, I agree with your decision.
