He is far from disgruntled. He seems like someone who enjoyed his work and his life. Clickbait article but I guess it worked.

Fox News was built by serving the needs of a segment of the market that felt underserved. It’s a very effective strategy.

Matt, Thanks for writing this. I’ve also had a long, slow ramp up with my saas (8 years) and it’s great to read stories/experiences like this.

I know of a small business in upstate NY that gets 80% of their sales from FB ads. Without FB, this business which also has a retail store, would certainly be having a lot more of a rough time. And they are not an isolated story. I know of at least 5 other small businesses that similarly generate from 25% to 70% of sales via FB. It's given these small businesses a way to compete against bigger competitors.

Batshit crazy? He just turned around Tesla, in an industry, where the last startup to succeed was over 80 years ago. Buy some Treasury bonds instead?

Reading this brought me to tears. Tears of nostalgia.

nostalgia, sad and hopeful all at once, when the familiar and the alien mingle, as when we revisit the childhood streets where our friends are no more, or when we return all alone to the site of some joyful memory.
