The primary strategy for all of these CEO’s is exactly what Peter Thiel (I think) laid out a while ago Build a monopoly Then Deny your monopoly “We aren’t just an X company. We actually compete everywhere. And where we compete we aren’t actually number 1”

he wasn't saying you *should* lie about your monopoly in this way, he was saying this is what companies do. at the time, people were still denying google, for example, was a monopoly, which he believed absurd.

Right I wasn’t saying he said lie It’s how we frame complex technology organizations https://twitter.com/hipcityreg/status/1288534341757394945?s=21 …https://twitter.com/HipCityReg/status/1288534341757394945 …

🌀 @HipCityRegReplying to @basche42I wouldn’t categorize it as lying It’s where/how you draw the frame. Facebook does compete on video. And they aren’t number 1 there. That’s not a lie How we categorize complex technology organizations — and how it’s spoken about from a congressional level... is... hard lol2 replies 0 retweets 8 likes -

I think you’re both right, but to be fair he did literally use the word lie many times, so it’s not unreasonable for people to read it that way. (This is the pre-release version of the book, but I don’t think the words changed in final print).pic.twitter.com/hGQY2tuRU0
