David Sacks just dismantled the narrative behind Jacob Coxon’s 166M+ view tweet, the ex-Anthropic and OpenAI researcher who resigned.
it was a planned “doomer op.”
"This is an X account that had almost no activity, almost no followers, and no posts prior to this resignation tweetstorm. If he did have prior posts, they were scrubbed. So, this was a completely blank account, and somehow, within a day, it finds this huge audience.
Elon has said it never happened before. And we also know who amplified it in the first 15 minutes. So, there were basically 3 of these well-organized, well-funded doomer groups who amplified it.
... This is a tight-knit community that jumped on this tweet. This was not some spontaneous act by an employee who said, “Oh, I’m just going to post my resignation letter on Twitter.” This was something that was orchestrated.
And then, just the final piece of evidence on this point is that someone looked at the Wall Street Journal story that covered the resignation letter, and somehow it was posted minutes before the tweetstorm itself."
