It would literally be illegal (and very uncommon) for an investor who holds no position in a company to have any day-to-day influence. They can and do have influence when they hold a position in the company. That position may even be as a board member, though this would very much limit their dat-to-day influence.
@freemo @realcaseyrollins @CaptMorgan @lauren
Okay. A major founding stakeholder in a company has absolutely nothing to do with the company. You win. ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
Not what I said... try reading what I said and try again.
My new company has about 7 founding investors at about the same ownership % as him... I have never even heard from a single one of them past the initial investment. I run the company and they dont even know me, let alone have influence.
@freemo @realcaseyrollins @CaptMorgan @lauren Unread. Uninterested. You're not being serious.
Yea, you not reading things before having strong incorrect opinions is quite clear.
@freemo @realcaseyrollins @CaptMorgan @lauren
That's right. This biased nonsense of mine that major founding stakeholders have something to do with their companies makes me a total crackpot. ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
Oh you are certainly a crackpot, but your misrepresentation of my argument isnt why.. well it is, but for reasons you clearly struggle to understand.
@freemo @realcaseyrollins @CaptMorgan @lauren yes I agree. There is a hamster somewhere in this thread struggling mightily to turn its wheel ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
@freemo @realcaseyrollins @CaptMorgan @lauren you got it bud! Good luck with your companies. Might want to look into how shareholders wield power in company decision making my friend. Take care.
You might want to try bringing your reading comprehension up. I never said they had no influence in decision making. I said they have no influence on day-to-day operations. Words are your friend.
@freemo @realcaseyrollins @CaptMorgan @lauren oh wow! That's what you said. Huh. I thought it was "I mean tats literally some random dude with shares". I deeply apologize for my poor reading skills and i am in deep gratitude for you correcting my foolishness. Thank you. ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
Thats what happens when you dont actually read what was really said... glad you realized reading the **whole** thing is important. Hopefully you wont make that mistake again in the future.
@freemo @realcaseyrollins @CaptMorgan @lauren sure thing man! you've deeply impressed me with your deep knowledge on the topic. Yeah. ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
@freemo @realcaseyrollins @CaptMorgan @lauren it's more like a pointless petty thread on mastodon going on a deranged tangent, but it's amusing
@freemo @realcaseyrollins @CaptMorgan @lauren
why do you follow me
there's a trick where you hit block/ unblock in rapid succession and disable a follow
hold on bro, i'm not blocking you, there might be a lag and you see a block, but that's not my intention, just correcting a misalignment, standby...
@freemo @realcaseyrollins @CaptMorgan @lauren
yup, it'sd all good now, you no longer follow me
have fun dude!
The thing missing in that exchange is that there are different classes of stocks. One class of stock is available to laymen, another class is available for richer, more serious investors.
Depending on the type of stock, the investor y'all are talking about might be qualified as an official stockholder who therefore can influence the company. Could be the case here; but to get your way you would have to influence other stockholders. 15% is not enough stock to control a company.
Yes indeed, I too was surprised when I learned this. Apparently, you can't own a company by buying all the stock on #Robinhood! My dreams were dashed.

my friend, Jeff Yass the GOP ghoul helped found bytedance, tiktok's owner, by giving it their initial funding. he's not a rando investor. and from the tenor of the conversation with the other guy you should understand how hilariously ridiculous this empty posturing on a false line of reasoning is
F*** tiktok. Do not engage in absurd denial of what it is
It is already the thing you hate, you're just having trouble accepting that
Again, 1) 15% of stock is not enough to control a company and 2) #TikTok being bad does not justify giving the government the power to arbitrarily ban a social media platform
@realcaseyrollins @CaptMorgan @lauren @freemo
that's right a government should stand for freedom
have you ever heard of the government of china?
read this my friend:
do you understand how absurd it is defending tiktok on the notion of freedom?
@benroyce @CaptMorgan @lauren @freemo Your constant insinuations that I am defending #TikTok are kinda funny lol
@realcaseyrollins @CaptMorgan @lauren @freemo
you called it fearmongering. you also insinuated domestic spying via domestic apps is worse. Lol!
If you had any principles about you you would condemn facebook and tiktok like me, as both terrible threats. But you instead want to shield and *defend* tiktok from attack rather than nod your head it should be attacked and demand the same for facebook. that is the only valid position.
@benroyce @CaptMorgan @lauren @freemo Haha! Learn to read. I refuse to carry on this conversation until you choose to do so.
@realcaseyrollins @CaptMorgan @lauren @freemo
I'm quoting you. Are you saying "learn to read" because you don't even know what your own words are? Or do you know you've been called out and you're hand waving and backing off?
@benroyce @CaptMorgan @lauren @freemo Iโm saying โlearn to readโ because you have been demonstrating an embarrassingly low literacy level throughout this entire thread.
Again, if you think Iโm defending #TikTok in any way, you need to learn how to read, and then try again.
@realcaseyrollins @CaptMorgan @lauren @freemo you called it fearmongering. I quoted you. You said learn to read. I showed the quote. Now you're saying "yeah like well um you still need to learn to read or something, yeah." ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
@benroyce @CaptMorgan @lauren @freemo See! Knew it! You still havenโt learned to read.
Learn to read!
@realcaseyrollins @CaptMorgan @lauren @freemo thank you man. you've transported me back to 4th grade recess with the stellar "no, u!"
it's been fun clowning with you two. anything else today? are we about done with this pointless thread?
@benroyce @CaptMorgan @lauren @freemo The last question I have is, do you speak #ESL? If so, that does explain some of your behavior here.
@realcaseyrollins @CaptMorgan @lauren @freemo dude you were funny with the 4th grade recess level bs. now you're getting into the level of meanness encountered in 6th grade cafeteria. come on man, do better! ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
@benroyce @CaptMorgan @lauren @freemo Just curious! I want to be fair to you. Your reading comprehension is REALLY poor, but if #English isnโt your first language, itโd be uncool for me to criticize you for that.
@realcaseyrollins @CaptMorgan @lauren @freemo this entire thread is pointless crap at this point so none of this matters. But thank you sir, for correcting me that when someone calls going after tiktok merely fearmongering, they aren't defending tiktok in any way. you have elevated my reading comprehension ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
@benroyce @CaptMorgan @lauren @freemo Haha well, Iโm glad you had fun with the thread at least! Hope you have a good rest of your day and you spend it learning the #English language lol
This guy truely is a jackass in his comments.. he "pretends" to be a dumbass to mask actually being a dumbass and thinks its some sort of snarky debati g tactic tonpretend to completely misunderstand and misrepresent other peoples point and then argue agaibst the point he made up instead.
Its all very childiah and boring.
@freemo @realcaseyrollins @CaptMorgan @lauren
dr. freemo comes in with "I mean tats literally some random dude with shares" and expects any interaction after that embarrassing cringe is anything but a clownshow
i merely meet you at the galaxy brain bar you set my friend. of course it's a waste of time but we aim for entertainment
anyways, i blocked you twice, you refollowed twice. as thirsty as you are i apologize business professor, but the third block will be final. i think you'll survive ๐
