"We are open to bringing over individuals — even entire teams — if there’s a clear path to have a 10x impact on Tumblr’s growth and revenue."

OOOOOf. Big miss to create contrast from Elon there Automattic.

Don't get me wrong, I love Automattic and WordPress is my jam but boy am I disappointed they bungled the messaging here.

If I'm an engineer escaping a tyrant with unrealistic expectations, I certainly don't want to join another company... with unrealistic expectations.

If you increase Automattic's revenue by 10x you deserve to OWN Automattic.

Maybe that part was referring to "entire teams." I.e. if we are going to keep an entire team intact, rather than pick a few people, then they better make a huge impact.

10x Tumblr growth and revenue, not Automattic’s
