Looks like DOGE is making progress. I’ve got our teams on alert to take down content doxxing or threatening the people on your team. Let me know if there’s anything else I can do to help.

Are you open to the idea of bidding on the OpenAI IP with me and some others?

![Who are our competitors?
We think about competition in two ways. First, there's the consumer Al chatbot space: Claude, Gemini, Copilot, Meta Al. With [ HYPERLINK \I "_l6ubp9yx5tei" \h ]we are leading here, but we can't rest. We need the best free model, best Ul, and strongest brand. Looking ahead to 2025, [REDACTED] poses the biggest threat due to their ability to embed equivalent functionality across their products (e.g. [REDACTED] without facing the business model cannibalization risks that Google does.
Then there's the broader game: building a super-assistant and then [REDACTED]. Now we're up against search engines, browsers, even interactions with real people. This one isn't a head-on match. It's about solving more and more use-cases and gradually pulling users in. That's why we don't call our product a search engine, a browser, or an OS — it's just ChatGPT.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ku4vhbxijom7q4o5ah4cuxf7/bafkreiezeen3zsolapn6fpht2e3kksyh4satmeyra3nrj6wir4qrartciy)

I just got off the phone with Evan. He said he enjoyed getting to know us but he thinks they can build much more value on their own. For reference, our offer was $3.1b for the company plus $1b in retention packages. [REDACTED] on his board was advising him strongly not to take the offer. Evan did not offer a counter.
Interestingly, [REDACTED] told him that Instagram was worth >$10b now and that Snapchat could be worth the same soon. I told him we thought Instagram was only worth ~$6b and had a clearer business model, but l'm not sure that moved him.
When I pressed him on his number for a while, he told me that it would be hard to walk away at $6-7b, but that he needed to check with [REDACTED]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ku4vhbxijom7q4o5ah4cuxf7/bafkreigdu2piiyqsk5jdtyzl4564ppoxdq7etxqtvu7hxjypsoojbzseaa)

I'd buy it right now.

Maybe we should do the whole [REDACTED] of the first series E (the one that closes tomorrow) so we don't make the acquisition too expensive for ourselves.

We could immediately offer improved terms on tomorrow's hundred million. For example, only a [REDACTED] times preference instead of the [REDACTED].

To be clear, my view here is that we're buying market position – not technology. And that market position and momentum is very valuable.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ku4vhbxijom7q4o5ah4cuxf7/bafkreicjjczdz4hk725lekil73ah5gic3yjfqactmwm5xhxpxhpp2fd36y)

yeah talked about WeChat with Zuck on sunday at length... he was actually very concerned tencent was trying to buy us to compete with FB outside of china (he actually heard rumor from "bankers" that the transaction between us and tencent is in process)... i told him i'll let him know we ever do get an offer we would ever consider - that made him feel better.
should we be worried about WeChat? hard to say... their android google play slot is between 5,000,000 and 10,000,000 downloads: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tencent.mm&hl=en
yes, i know there is no google play in china, so what this means probably is that they have at most around 10m android downloads outside of china. we have 100m.
i think if we fail, we only have ourself to blame due to things like two consecutive days of server outages and not wechat...](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ku4vhbxijom7q4o5ah4cuxf7/bafkreib5jfw5s2r75me6qb7p2bh4rl7shrzql2mtzp3ul3kwag5k2bvrwi)
