“@pegobry @pmarca Exactly. Right before he died, Jack Bogle (of Vanguard fame) said index/passive funds were too great a percentage of the market and he really knew what he was talking about! There should be a shift back towards active investment. Passive has gone too far.”

“@billhuang688 @woonomic @VaibhavSisinty I put in all I had, whereas Eberhard, who was worth over $10M at the time, refused to invest a penny to help Tesla. If it was really his baby, he would never have stood by while it starved to death. https://t.co/ZDfYLD5qkL https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judgement_of_Solomon”
“@JoeBiden Tesla has created over 50,000 US jobs building electric vehicles & is investing more than double GM + Ford combined [fyi to person controlling this twitter]”
“@MrManderly @SawyerMerritt Giga Texas is a $10B+ investment over time, generating at least 20k direct & 100k indirect jobs”
“@WholeMarsBlog Doing the opposite of whatever that insufferable numbskull says would be a great way to invest!”
“@Teslarati @ResidentSponge GM & Chrysler were bailed out (money never repaid), but Tesla was not. Crucial Tesla investment actually came from Daimler in 2009, from which they did very well. Tesla received govt energy efficiency loan in 2010, by which time capital markets reopened. Loan was repaid early.”
“@TrungTPhan Maybe Buffett should invest in Tesla haha”

“@TrungTPhan Had no money to invest in Zip2, but my founder equity yielded ~$15M after tax. Of that, I rolled ~$10M into PayPal, which yielded ~$180M, then … Basic principle is that I would not ask investors to risk money on my company if I would not also do so.”
“@philwhln @heydave7 Because I am not an investor. Tesla is definitely not the only good company, but investing is not what I do. But I always put my own money into companies I help create, otherwise it’d be wrong to ask others to do so.”
“@FutureJurvetson @PPathole Super appreciate your support, Steve! That convertible loan gave us 6 months of runway. Fortunately, Daimler invested $50M in May 2009, 5 months later.”
“@PPathole @BBCScienceNews This thing we call “money” is just a (slow, lossy & unsecure) database for labor allocation. Investing is meaningless without people, at least until AGI happens, which will obviate need for labor & necessitate UBI.”
“@davidmholtom @Nu23ro @SciGuySpace Tesla *was* saved by an investment in May 2009 from Daimler, not govt. Without that Daimler support, Tesla would have died. Super appreciated!”
“Just looked at my wiki for 1st time in years. It’s insane! Btw, can someone please delete “investor”. I do basically zero investing.”
“@archangel_cap @existentialcoms I have publicly asked people (like you) not to invest. Go fund Ford or whatever …”
“Then I’m going to build a moat & fill it w candy. Warren B will not be able to resist investing! Berkshire Hathaway kryptonite …”
“@Ataraxia_Invest @MKBHD @HyperChangeTV They were neither valid nor pertinent. I will explain why on a primary Twitter thread.”
“@SmileSimplify @Vita_Berlin @c12olivas Exactly. Wouldn't let anyone invest more than a token amount in early rounds of SpaceX and Tesla, as the probability of failure was >90%.”
“@Aero4Real I only invest in companies I help found or to help a friend or a cause (no return expected for latter two)”
