They said I was silly to hire a PR firm to take the heat off of billionaires, but who’s laughing now? 😈 fastcompany.com/90378291/tech-…

Sorry for my absence. I’ve been on an extended twitter fast during my annual 100-day silent retreat.
Forgot to buy candy so I’ll be handing out term sheets tonight. Anyone dressed as a unicorn can name their price.
YC’s Startup School Camp used to be one of the most exclusive on the playa, but this year they’ll let anyone in 🤷🏻♂️
Fact: Elon tears are even rarer than unicorn tears.
@TijenOnaran For the record, my voice cracked once during the NY Times article. That’s it. There were no tears.
Fellow burners: don’t even bother going to Sand Hill Camp; it’s a ghost town with just a few old men trying to initiate cuddle puddles. The action and term sheets and woke Medium posts are all at South Park Camp.
Initial Concert Offerings are almost always scams.
I'll have what he's having 😋 (Expired, hand-squeezed Juicero packs.)
Playa VC retweeted
Outrageous. Someone who attempted and failed to improve juice technology doesn't deserve the privilege being half naked in a dust storm.
@noahlz Same, but I'm attending "Bitcoin / Ethereum for Billionaires"
Join me tonight in pouring one out for Juicero ⚰️ Actually it's more like squeezing. For a few minutes. Then we'll eat subscription froyo!
Feeling extra smug today because it's cooler on the playa than it is SF ☀️☀️☀️ Plus you're all wearing normal clothes. Suckers!
I made my Burning Man headdress by stitching together rejected term sheets. It's important to stay humble.
Most popular camp on the playa this year: ICO Camp. Ppl aren't quite sure what they're doing there, but know they can't afford to miss out.
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
Burning the Man is so 2016. This year we will end him with dragonglass.
