Obviously a parody, but it underscores a historical trend of overseas investors pouring money into clones of US companies without any substantial innovation or changes.

One question I'm struggling with... Is a clone a legitimate (abstract) business if the differentiator between clone and U.S. original is the experience working with European / Asian customers and catering to their needs specifically?

He's making fun of the Samwer brothers, which would mean he probably doesn't think clones are legitimate business.

That much is obvious. Not asking him. Asking the HN crowd.
