Reid Hoffman
Reid Hoffman@reidhoffman·
Give us a break: If you cared about the victims as you say, you’d stop making false accusations to cover your ass and start using your $220m of influence with President Trump to get justice for the victims. Instead, you’re focused on comparing my visit fundraising for MIT to your begging to go to his island (which happened TWO YEARS before the screenshot you shared), and helicoptering over to Epstein looking for the “wildest party.” You lied about this to everyone for over a decade, and now your excuse (it’s disgusting, by the way) is that you could get young girls without Epstein?
Elon Musk@elonmusk

This is how I knew so long ago that Reid Hoffman went to Epstein’s island. Epstein used Reid being there to try to get me to go, not realizing that it would have the opposite effect 😂

Woke up and chose to stop tolerating legal nonsense slowing things down. Firing any outside lawyer who doesn’t reply fast, or delays anything >24 hr; if not my lawyer, CC the friend that their lawyer needs to go faster, or else be replaced! Had enough; also building legal AI.

2) The SAFE investor has “unbounded” upside if the startup outperforms and raises the next equity round at a much higher valuation. If the next equity round is below the cap, SAFE holder gets full benefit of lower valuation (+ discount if applicable).

1) Beware the late stage SAFE. A SAFE at a very high cap + discount essentially works like preferred equity with full ratchet anti-dilution protection *and* senior liquidation preference.
