Hunting for Birds and The Big Blue Bird – A LinkedIn News Feature

Good People, our feed got featured in LinkedIn News. The post was an amazing one ( read here  ) – it was about a rich man who bought a blue bird with $44 billion, reminding me of my life in the village of Ovim. We hunted for birds on the road to the village stream (Tantuta) with our catapults. But here, the zen-master of money, Elon Musk, who has demonstrated new physics on how to accumulate empires with no financial gravitational force affecting his voyage, is leading the way.

I am a fan of Musk and do hope he will not do to his bird what we used to do in the village: after you have gotten a bird, most times, after playing with it, you abandon it, because there was really nothing you could do with it. His blue bird is very expensive at $44 billion and he cannot afford to leave it to fly away! Good luck Musk.

Mr. Musk, I know you have a company called The Boring Company. The way you guys bore holes to transport people reminds of how we look for rabbits in the burrow. But I tell you frankly: you do not abandon bird hunting for rabbit hunting as the tools and strategies are never the same. Simply, nurture the blue bird as it is the world’s village square.

Elon Musk has completed his $44 billion Twitter takeover, according to SEC filings. The Tesla CEO tweeted Friday that one of his first moves will be “forming a content moderation council with widely diverse viewpoints” before making big content decisions, including whether to reinstate banned accounts. Meanwhile, General Motors said it was “temporarily” suspending advertising on Twitter as it evaluates the platform’s new direction. Twitter shares were suspended from trading on the New York Stock Exchange Friday. They are slated to be delisted on Nov. 8. (LinkedIn News)
