How strong is @Twitter's case against @ElonMusk? Well, weak Q2 earnings moved Twitter's stock price... hardly at all. Musk has all the cash, but is holding a bad set of cards. The market sees it. Discussed w/ Paul Bagnell on BNN Bloomberg. Glasswing Ventures trib.al/55e98r0

Almost 3 hours into Musk/Twitter hearing and I actually laughed out loud this exchange: Musk lawyer (re: whistleblower complaint): one might wonder why we didn't discover this in due diligence .. they hid it, that's why Judge: we'll never know.. there was no due diligence

Ireland’s €405M fine of @Instagram seems steep given that the problem came in large part from 13- to 18-year-olds changing personal profiles to business accounts. Likely reduced on appeal... Joined @BBCDavidEades on BBC News (World) to discuss. Social media insights from Glasswing Ventures.

The U.S. is easing #technology export restrictions to Iran, and I joined Nick Clark to discuss how this may affect Iranian citizens. Important issues around #privacy, anonymity & the cat-and-mouse game that comes along with attempts at censorship. Insights from Glasswing Ventures.

At his best, Elon Musk is irreverent & innovative. At his worst, he’s offensive & destructive. What will we see now that he owns @Twitter? Discussion with Jon Erlichman on BNN Bloomberg ranged far & wide: subscriptions, verification, conspiracy theories & ad revenue. Glasswing Ventures

.Elon Musk is a demanding boss, & can run @Twitter how he sees fit--with the associated advertiser, legal & regulatory consequences. Joined Tim Willcox on BBC News (World) to discuss the lack of ... seriousness around many decisions thus far, & Donald J. Trump's potential return.

.@ElonMusk is taking a bite at the Apple, picking a fight about money (advertising + the 30% "Apple Tax") & power (Apple being able to de-platform Twitter from its App Store). Joined Jon Erlichman on BNN Bloomberg to discuss this & more. Social Media insights Glasswing Ventures.

Chatbots were terrible--until last week. And #ChatGPT feels like the kind of leap that will permanently change our expectations of what is possible. Discussed the potential, and perils, with Jon Erlichman on BNN Bloomberg. Social media insights from Glasswing Ventures.

The military gets to fly stealth, but Elon Musk doesn't. That’s where you need to start to understand the controversy around the suspension of journalists from @Twitter for alleged doxxing (it's not). Joined Jon Erlichman on BNN Bloomberg to discuss.

Any potential new @Twitter CEO will need to be a financial wizard, & do 3 things: 1. Be able to say "No" to Musk. 2. Send Tesla & SpaceX engineers away. 3. Begin to rebuild trust with advertisers. Joined Jon Erlichman on BNN Bloomberg. Social Media insights by Glasswing Ventures.

“Is Big Tech in Big Trouble?” was the question, & the short answer is "No". Layoffs of 10-15% of staff are painful, and we should never be glib about job losses that affect real people. But tech companies will continue to innovate. Joined Adrian Finighan on Inside Story to discuss.

Changes in how we live, work, & go to school ripple through our lives, from big ("do I have to go to the office for work?") to small ("what does @Netflix think is my primary residence?"). The former is hard, so we tackled the latter. :-) Natasha Zouves NewsNation Glasswing Ventures.

The drumbeat of negative press continues for TikTok. Valid concerns that the Chinese government can snoop, and tip the scales on the #algorithms that serve content to our youth. Joined Lisa-Marie Misztak on BBC News (World) to discuss. Social Media insights from Glasswing Ventures.

People who predict the future? We call them "futurists". People who predict when the future will become a reality? We call them billionaires. Discussed this and #chatgpt #ai with Jon Erlichman on Bloomberg Bloomberg Markets. Software by Beacon.Dev; technology insights by Glasswing Ventures.

At Beacon.Dev we were fortunate to get our money out of Silicon Valley Bank before it failed, & I joined Jon Erlichman on Bloomberg Bloomberg Markets to discuss our experience. Special thanks to investors Rudina Seseri, Kleida Martiro, & the Glasswing Ventures team throughout this process.

The TikTok political question that really matters: "Would ByteDance sell TikTok even if the Chinese government objected?" The answer is above the CEO's pay grade, & obviously "no". Which says all you need to know about who is in charge. Discussed with Lisa-Marie Misztak on BBC News (World).

The "For You" feed includes posts that @Twitter's #algorithms think will interest you. Removing blue checks from accounts that don't buy Twitter Blue makes it easier--for only $8/mo--to impersonate others, and game the algorithms. Discussed with Maryam Moshiri on BBC News (World).
