'You're welcome to roll', texted Elon Musk to SBF about his proposed $100M Investment in Twitter

Will MacAskill: Hey - I saw . I'm not sure if this is what's on your mind, but my collaborator Sam Bankman-Fried has for a while been potentially interested in purchasing it and then making it better for the world. If you want to talk with him about a possible joint effort in that direction, his number is redacted and he's on Signal.

Will: Depends on how you define "huge"! He's worth $24B, and his early employees (with shared values) bump that to $30B. I asked about how much he could in principle contribute and he said: "~$1-3b would be easy-$3-8b I could do ~$8-15b is maybe possible but would require financing"

Will: If you were interested to discuss the idea I asked and he said he'd be down to meet you in Austin

Will: He's based in the Bahamas normally. And I might visit Austin next week, if you'd be around?

Will: Would you like me to intro you two via text?

Will: Very much so! Very dedicated to making the long-term future of humanity go well

Will: Great! Will use Signal

Will: (Signal doesn't work; used iMessage instead)

Will: And in case you want to get a feel for Sam, here's the Apr 1st tweet from his foundation, the Future Fund, which I'm advising on -I thought you might like it:

Will: And here's the actual (more informative) launch tweet· moving $100M-$1B this year to improve the future of humanity:

Will: Hey, here's introducing you both, Sam and Elon. You both have interests in games, making the very long-run future go well, and buying Twitter. So I think you'd have a good conversation!

Michael Kives: Have any time to see Philippe Laffont in Vancouver tomorrow?

Michael: Any particular time of best?

Michael: any time best?

Michael: Has some ideas on Twitter Owns a billion of Tesla Did last 2 or 3 SpaceX rounds And-wants to get into Boring in the future (I told him to help with recruiting) You could honestly do like 20 mins in your hotel He's super smart, good guy

Michael: Could be cool to do this with Sam Bankman-Fried

Michael: ["liked" above]

Jared Birchall: ["liked above]

Jared: He [SBF] seems to point to a similar blockchain based idea. Also, we now have the right software engineer for you to speak with about the blockchain idea. Do you want an intro? Or just contact info?

Jared: former spacex'r, current CTO at Matter Labs, a blockchain company. TBC is on the verge of hiring him.

Jared: best to intro you via email?

Jared: Investor calls are currently scheduled from 1pm to 3pm. They'd like to do a brief check in beforehand.

Jared: ["liked" above]

Jared: I'll be dialing in to the calls as well. Let me know if you prefer that I'm there in person at the house or if remote is better.

Jared Birchall: Elon -connecting you with SBF.

Michael Grimes Do you have 5 minutes to connect on possible meeting tomorrow I believe you will want to take?

Michael: Sam Bankman Fried is why I'm calling

Michael: Wants 1-Sb. Serious about partner w/you. Same security you own

Michael: Not urgent unless you want him to fly tomorrow. He has a window tomorrow then he's wed-Friday booked

Michael: Could do $5bn if everything vision lock. Would do the engineering for social media blockchain integration. Founded FTX crypto exchange. Believes in your mission. Major Democratic donor. So thought it was potentially worth an hour tomorrow a la the Orlando meeting and he said he could shake hands on 5 if you like him and I think you will. Can talk when you have more time not urgent but if tomorrow works it could get us $5bn equity in an hour

Michael: I think Sam has it yes. He actually said up to 10 at one point but in writing he said up to 5. He's into you. And he specifically said the blockchain piece is only if you liked it and not gonna push it. Orlando referred Sams interest to us and will be texting you to speak to say why he (Orlando) declined. We agree orlando needs to call you and explain given everything he said to us and you. Will make that happen We can push Sam to next week but I do believe you will like him. Ultra Genius and doer builder like your formula. Built FTX from scratch after MIT physics. Second to Bloomberg in donations to Biden campaign.
