"We have no investors, no board of directors, no eyes on an exit. We feel a moral obligation to exercise our independence. To do things no one would give us permission to do. To try things other companies would be afraid to try. To skip safe, go original."

Big tech companies have too much power, and they're abusing that power in ways that undermine human rights. That's why we've joined the #AntitrustDay coalition to urge that Congress restore competition & choice online. ⤵️

"After Sebring, there was no draw. Just weary. I had my fill, or so I thought. I skipped Le Mans that year too, after having gone for eight years straight since 2012. It felt fine... Until Le Mans 2021. Suddenly the draw was back."

"By enticing people to publicly commit to one side or another on a million hard questions every day via social media, we've dramatically raised the cost for society to collectively change its mind about anything. This is nothing short of a catastrophe."

"The problem with investing in those details early on is that then they feel like investments. You don’t want to lose those. You got to be constantly ready to kill your darlings when you come up with a better idea of how to do it."
