Since being posted, the post has attracted several comments and reactions. The tweet has collected over 41,000 likes and over 4 million impressions. A user commented, "I know a bunch of people who worked at Stripe and NONE of them have anything good to say about Chad Smith."

"Not surprising Sounds like the "due diligence" VCs did when deciding to invest millions in FTX. One of them said that he invested because SBF could talk about crypto while playing a video game," the third user wrote.

"BRB creating an AI-generated profile that just messages every LinkedIn account to talk about having dry powder," the fourth user commented.
