Sam Bankman-Fried, now serving a 25-year prison sentence, made his first public post on X, responding to Elon Musk's controversial email directive to government employees. In a ten-post thread, SBF expressed empathy for government workers, sharing that he also struggles with email and reflected on the complexities of firing employees. His unexpected public silence-breaking raised questions about his motives, but coincidentally, the value of FTX's token, FTT, surged by 30% following his remarks. It's unclear how he managed to post from prison, as such access is generally restricted.
I have a lot of sympathy for gov't employees: I, too, have not checked my email for the past few (hundred) days. And I can confirm that being unemployed is a lot less relaxing than it looks.
Firing people is hard, and sometimes people get fired for reasons beyond their own control.
Though SBF's motives are unclear, FTX's token, FTT, spiked 30% after his post.
It is not clear how SBF posted on X from prison as inmates generally cannot access social media; however, some prisoners may write content for outside posting.
