And Mira Marotti is like a source of his in the room.

And the one exchange that has come out that is now, I think, just the most useful meme we've had in a while is Sam texts, can you indicate directionally good or bad?

Satya and others anxious.

And Mira just texts directionally very bad.

Which is such a brutal, incredible own.

Oh, you want me to prepare a dossier on my boss?

That's probably fine.

He's like, so I'm still fired, right?

What?

What decision have they made this time?

You can tell no one was communicating successfully at any level of this entire process.

Somebody is texting Satya a Zoom link and Satya's going, what?

Which is so good.

That random Twitch guy, by the way, Emmett Shear, who was the CEO of Twitch for a long time, I think by most accounts, like a good egg in Silicon Valley circles, had a weird moment in the sun as part of this entire story.

That's a guy that we were all in the incubator with.

But wait, the texts keep going here.

So Mira says, new guys, rando Twitch guy.

And then she says, before Sam can even respond, she goes, they don't want you.

And then Sam responds, Emmett?

With two question marks.
