1/11: I have gotten a lot of questions about Robert Scoble lately. He has not been a part of my company since the earlier part of this year. People have been commenting that there seems to be something going on with him recently -
2/11: starting a couple of weeks before he posted a video on Twitter with him in a Tesla driver seat completely hands-free – not allowing the possibility of him being able to grab the wheel because he was videoing everything with a phone for several minutes.
3/11: Inside with him were his two kids while his car was driving for stretches at over 80 mph. He was also called out because he stated that a person who died in a Tesla while he had it on autopilot was a “sacrifice,” in the name of improving Tesla’s autonomous features.
4/11: There were some other posts as well that people asked me about – those with almost manic over-enthusiasm of rumored products and often odd vague statements. I will not comment on these, expect that I made it very clear to him
5/11: that he should definitely not be riding in his Tesla like he has been doing because he could cause accidents and injure himself, his children and others who are on the road with him.
6/11: I am writing this to make extremely clear that I do not condone his actions and am not affiliated and do not agree with his posts on technology over the last month or so – those that to me are unapologetically meant to focus attention on himself
7/11: and have little to do with sincerely commenting on real tech developments. People have also been asking me on why he is no longer with Infinite Retina. Besides telling you that he made it extremely hard for me to run my business by not being professional and not doing most
8/11: of the work he had said he would do which forced me to spend weeks where I would spend many nights working right through and not sleeping, there were some much more serious issues. When I asked him about how his piece of a project we were working on was doing
9/11: because the deadline had already passed, he told me, “I see your picture in Google Sheets and I would like to stab your eyes out with a pencil.” This scared me and even though I had known earlier that I could no longer work with him, this made it clear that I had
10/11: to expedite stopping business and general communications with him. Even after all of this, I tried to help him by saying that he was in great need of getting some professional psychiatric help as soon as possible. Many months later, I said that same thing to him
11/11: because it was clear that he was actually in worse shape than before. I have now stopped concerning myself about what is going on with him since it is adversely affecting me. There are people in his life that should be tending to him.
