Nobody in this man's entire career ever taught him how to successfully market products to retail, eh

@ernie If #ElonMusk so much as sneezed in the direction of @purism, there could be a large shift of attention (and perhaps funding) for #Linux-based phones and #TechConvergence, diminishing the need to construct yet another app ecosystem/marketplace.

@jc @purism I guess the question to ask is, would that sort of attention be desired? It seems to me that there would be a real threat of one prominent voice overwhelming the existing work done thus far. The answer could conceivably be yes, but I think it’s reasonable to ask given how quickly this could stop being a theoretical.

@jc @purism @todd That is a CEO with a very strong understanding of why his company exists. Didn’t even need to reply directly to the ask to make his point clear—simply needed to point to his articles of incorporation. Good stuff.
