It literally wasn’t. He paid way more than what the stock was worth. (Hence why he desperately tried to get out of it, and why the board desperately tried to make sure he had to go through with it.)

I think he’s just saying the headline is (potentially maliciously) ambiguous. I certainly assumed “told not to testify [or else]” when I read it.

There are some fantastic gems of videos that still get released, but they’re really hard to find amongst the YouTube crap videos.

Linus LOVES corporate buzzwords. He certainly never fails to remind critics that he’s just running a business.

He’s said before that he hates it, but including one of those thumbnails boosts viewership by 30%. I certainly don’t like it, but it would be really hard for me to resist that extra income too.

“Hell yes we’re going to take your guns” is not the best slogan when running for governor of Texas.

That’s like asking Whirlpool and Kenmore to pay for water and sewer expansion.

That’s the loan payments pause, not the forgiveness program
