A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

An estimated $4 to $20 billion in value, what is he thinking?

Over half of his enterprises have folded. Including companies that he bought up.

He's an idea guy and that's it. And even that is more credit than what's due - he's got superficial ideas at best.

The one thing that sets him apart from the average Joe with a failed business is that he's got the capital to try over and over again.

Exactly! He was great at getting press and selling big ideas. He never made his ideas happen, other people did that.

Now with Twitter he's trying to sell an idea no one cares about. No one was clamouring for the next social media platform.

And no one is looking for an 'everything app' either.
