@everydayscott Apple is throwing a bajillion dollars at a side business because it can. If it succeeds, great. Not clear if it has, at all. Roku’s model means this stuff is existential, and the results will be public. Very different stakes. — PolitiTweet.org

@DKThomp 2 > 1. If we are very generous we can say that him not caring about economics means he doesn’t want to make Tesla-sized returns. But he still needs returns. And a plan beyond letting the tweets flow. — PolitiTweet.org
