  • The company is the employees, yes, including the CEOs. Their collective actions are the actions of Mullvad.

    Whilst the donation does reflect well on the company, there’s a lot more to the company that just one half of the leadership. I think people are right to keep a distinction between the two. “Mullvad” had no control of whether this donation was made or not, just as they have no control over any other employee making a political donation.

    Should they consider if the CEOs public action have brought the company disrepute and fire him? Possibly, but I think it would be likely that such a decision could be challenged as a persons political views are not grounds for dismissal.

    …but you repeating the “It’s horse medicine” trope is just as much disinformation as the “it’s a COVID treatment” people. You don’t know. You’re just repeating shit you heard because it aligned with your politics.

    If somebody has been prescribed it, they should be taking it. Not worrying about why their doctor has given them “horse medicine” and refusing it. …and it’s an extremely common prescription.



















  • Yep. AI has drained the venture capital well dry. So…

    • You merge xAI with SpaceX to make one profit making company and a loss making company in to a mixed financial bag.
    • Hype “Data-centres in Space” for a good six months to make it seem like it all makes sense.
    • Sell all your compute to Anthropic / Google (with 90-day termination clauses) to get some revenue on the books.
    • Lobby that you’re such a good deal S&P and NASDAQ should change their rules to admit entry to their “required to buy” stocks. NASDAQ bites, but S&P refused.
    • IPO: $80B raised from IPO partners (banks) at $135 per share. Job done. No control lost because the share of the company was so low.
    • IPO subscribers (banks) sell to markets at upto $225. Lots of happy bankers. Retail markets (e.g. investment funds) now holds the shares, but it’s all good, right? Nasdaq have it listed so there’s an enforced buy in two weeks.
    • Stock slides. Enforced buy comes at ~$145 per share and it feels a bit more firm for a day or two.
    • Stock resumes it’s slide to below it’s IPO price.
    • Stock now sits at $124

    Net result:

    • Space X : +$80B
    • IPO subscribers: +$40B…ish
    • Public Shareholders: +5% of SpaceX (Currently $69B) & -$120B
