Alexis is an investor in 42Floors. Easily one of the nicest, most supportive, most helpful investors/peers/role models I've ever come across. And yes, he's an activist! So he self-promotes. Explicitly for the cause of an open internet. And I'm so incredibly grateful that he promotes a cause I care so much about, but over which I have so little influence.

- dwaltrip 13y agoDo you have a point? Sounds like you are looking to berate. Oh he did actually build some stuff? But it doesn't meet my arbitrary criteria for notability/novelty!
- wikiburner 13y agoYou make some great points, Elon.
- ketralnis 13y ago> reddit, what was it by the time he left? It took off long after he left 1. That just isn't true 2. If it were true, you don't think that early investment (in time, energy, ingenuity, whatever) pays off later? That you need a good foundation to build a house? Source: I was at reddit until 2011. This all sounds very personal, do you know Alexis?
