> Wall Street will just have to speculate on how much cash Musk’s orbital empire is actually generating and whether any of this makes sense.
I reckon it won’t. But do I think that’ll stop them from attempting this?
Thought it would be rather entertaining if it goes the way of WeWork…

I'm in #milano visiting #horizenlabs 's #wework office. I think it's my first real WeWork experience. I feel... #millennial 😂 (or should I say #genz now?) Anyway, great vibe and a big shoutout to the amazing team!

This weekend I read the #book 'The Money Trap' by Alok Sama, who was a banker involved in some of those huge #SoftBank investments a few years ago including #Yahoo!, #NVIDIA, #ARM, #Uber, the infamous #WeWork, etc.
It provides a well-written account about how the financial and investment elites operate.
Perhaps the main lesson learned for me is how some of these multi-billion deals are often based not on evidence and data, but personal beliefs and extremely weak forecasts.
Really interesting and enjoyable book, difficult to put down.

Overheard at #wework
“But, I’m gonna go see Lady Gaga tonight, sooooooo party at the end of
the world!” -
This deeply weird article about the future of AI at Lifetime Fitness as part of its profitability roadmap makes me think this business has peaked.
This article and business has the smell of WeWork. There’s some smoke and mirrors and also a fundamental misunderstanding of AI, of software and of technology.
I’ve read this book before and I know how it ends.

overheard at #wework: we're moving away from ESG and to the next thing, which is climate impact or whatever so we need more data sets as an investment manager

On why #AdamNeumann from #WeWork fame keeps getting money for new, equally bovine patty-esque ventures:
the VC/funding community has become more incestuous than the characters from Deliverance, and lacking anything vaguely resembling introspection. It's a circle jerk so furious it's almost vertigo inducing.

"Meetup just announced they'll start charging group members $2 per RSVP. Lol yeah that's not going to fly.
If you want the full story, Quincy Larson from FreeCodeCamp does a great job of telling it here: [WeWork is Desperately Squeezing Cash Out of Meetup.com by Taxing 225,000 Communities](https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/the-wework-meetup-debacle-and-a-new-chapter/)."

How did this pan out?

Oh, and it's funny how desperately the company tries to position itself as a tech company to justify its valuation (#WeWork anyone?) by working on things such as "GoClass" and "GoChat".

DER SPIEGEL: #WeWork: Gründer Adam Neumann plant Rückkauf der insolventen Firma für mehr als 500 Millionen Dollar https://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/unternehmen/wework-gruender-adam-neumann-plant-rueckkauf-der-insolventen-firma-fuer-mehr-als-500-millionen-dollar-a-e3d328e6-b6f9-4d74-b8c7-6def1dc4b40a
Er sollte noch was von den 1,7 Milliarden Dollar übrig haben, die er damals beim Rausschmiss aus WeWork kassiert hat. -

SoftBank has announced it will take full ownership of WeWork Japan, shouldering the company’s business-related debts. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2024/02/02/companies/softbank-wework-japan-takeover/?utm_content=buffer664c2&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #business #companies #wework #softbank

@jimcarroll Perhaps Silicon Valley’s saying should be “move fast and make money“ - The breaking things may just be a byproduct of them trying to distract the investing public from the mostly useless crap they peddle under the guise of future promises of tremendous awesomeness. #WeWork (or example) should be a case study in how Silicon Valley is nothing but greedy carnival barkers trying to distract from their own stench with a catchy phrase: move fast and break things.

I just finished watching "The Beanie Bubble" movie. I know these things are fictionalized but I think the key message was here's another company run by a douchebag man who fucked over a bunch of people who helped him build it. Get triple play with "Super Pumped" the series about Uber, and "We Crashed" about We Work.
