Congrats! Giving meritocratic American entrepreneurs a shot has generated the most prosperity in history. Under the warmth of collectivism in communism, the commissars shoot you.
Making a corporate decision like letting the sexual predator Andrew Tate onto your platform so you can monetize onto his 1M+ followers is WRONG. You are letting him spread his hate and poisonous ideas, letting him infiltrate what we believe was a safe space, a choice to be DIFFERENT from other social media platforms. Allowing him to be here and gathering followers shows a lack of moral ethics and civil responsibility = money comes before everything else
This is what is fucking wrong with the United States of America and why you ended up with another sexual predator and criminal as your president. MONEY FIRST, who cares about the rest right??? FERAL CAPITALISM is what you are and always will be unless corporate leaders like you grow up a spine and make WISE and RESPONSIBILE CHOICES. Be better !!!!
Hi Ben, congrats for your fundraising, Let’s connect I'll keep it short — we're building NEST, a self-hosted workforce intelligence hub. It replaces Slack, WhatsApp, terminals, and 15+ tools in a single platform that runs on the client's own server.
What's different:
• Persistent organizational memory that compounds per employee
• 700+ AI models via BYOK — no lock-in, no product fees
• Full data sovereignty. Your infra, your rules.
Already live in production. Open to try on GitHub right I'd love to show you a 15-min the product or help you with the installation.
Boxdebit.com. Box as a whole is a Loyalty Rewards program for Sustainability in the form of an AI Social Commerce Network for People today. But each individual proprietary element (1)Product Discovery, (2)Payments & (3)High Level Customer service/Attention separately catering to Agents /Agentic AI of tomorrow.
Ben, I have invented an AI Social Commerce Network that includes a proprietary payment application and which I can grow to 1 Billion + members globally within 10 years.
I will be in California within the next 3 days. Will you give me a shot Ben and allow me to pitch you?
This resonates deeply. In AI, I see the same tension, we celebrate intelligence, but often neglect humanity. The real breakthrough isn’t just more powerful systems; it’s building ones grounded in reality, trust, and human context. Less moonshots, more meaning, because in the end, technology doesn’t scale, what truly scales is what actually serves people, good job, Ben, keep rocking!
Probably you forgot to conclude with “thank you for your attention to this matter” - but in capital letters.
I admire and genuinely believe in the great work you've done over the years and the exceptional founders you'll invest in the future.
But this America-first approach is delusional and outdated.
It's noise that covers the hard-to-accept reality of a declining empire.
The problem isn't China, this finger-pointing is a cheap tactic.
The problem of America is America.

Ben, it’s really gross that you have the rapist Andrew Tate here on Substack. Ew.
A respectful request to take Andrew Tate off of Substack.
