I’m kicking myself.
Last Thursday, you could have made a fortune by shorting shares in the hot sexual health care company Hims & Hers.
All I had to do was call my broker at 7:22am, one minute after the company’s CEO committed social media commercial suicide.
This is Wall Street’s only certainty, short of Bud Light rehiring Dylan Mulvaney or Gillette running another ad that says, “All men are evil monsters until proven otherwise.” It was the closest thing to a real bet.
In fact, the moment I saw Andrew Dadham’s work, Post to XI quickly learned exactly how his next few days would unfold.
- Outrage (Our…)
- Confused (his…)
- Hims & Hers stock price plummets (down 8% on Friday alone).
- Climb one by one.
- What was surprising was that he didn’t seem to understand what was about to happen.
He’s not good either by his name, and I think he’s basically bad as well.
That morning, Dudum wrote: “Moral Courage > University Degrees. If you are currently protesting the genocide of Palestinians and the withdrawal of universities from Israel, please continue. It is working. Regardless of your field of university, you There are a lot of companies and CEOs who want to hire.”
They have since added a link to the Hims & Hers Careers page on their website.
To understand how shockingly stupid Dudum’s post was, it’s important to remember exactly what happened in the 48 hours leading up to it.
That’s when Columbia University student protesters, assisted by outside professional agitators, stormed historic Hamilton Hall, barricaded the doors and brandished banners that read “INTIFADA!” It was time. So that there can be no doubt about their violent intentions.
It spent two weeks harassing and abusing Jewish students, canceling on-campus lectures, and regularly seeing and hearing the same mob chanting Hamas’ favorite “From the River to the Sea.” It happened later. ”, alluding to the terror group’s stated mission of eradicating Israel.
Eventually, NYPD riot police were called in to arrest them Tuesday night, and they did so with commendable ruthless efficiency.
And after witnessing all this, Andrew Dadham decided to tell the world what he thought and take sides in a surprisingly partisan way, causing many customers to erupt in anger and his company’s reputation self-destructed by $200 million. .
Of course, today he did what every stupid company that appeals to virtue does when they suddenly realize that their customer base doesn’t share his woke bull–t-he melted like ice cream in a heat wave.
In an unapologetic self-pity on the thread about
And of course, he blamed everyone else who seemed to have misunderstood his very clear comments.
“The last few days have been a disheartening reminder of how divided we live in times,” he whined. “I am deeply saddened that my support for peaceful protests has been interpreted by some as an incitement to violence, intimidation, and bigotry of all kinds.”
And of course he played the victim card. “As a father whose children are descendants of Palestinian refugees who fled the Nakba in 1948 and Holocaust survivors from Poland, I personally appreciate the different perspectives of people. I live with it. I hope and pray for peace and an end to violence everywhere.”
When I read these words, I wondered what this great peace-loving moral activist had posted after the horrific Hamas terrorist attack on Israel on October 7th. Did this terrorist attack brutally kill 1,200 people, including Holocaust survivors and babies, and kidnap another 240?
there is nothing.
Not a single bloody word.
In fact, Dudum’s first post after the atrocity was three weeks later, on October 27, when he retweeted an Amnesty International statement that read: Ceasefire now! Ceasefire now! Ceasefire now! In the face of unlimited devastation and suffering, humanity must prevail. We call on all parties for a ceasefire to end civilian suffering. ”
He clearly did not feel the same compulsion that humanity must prevail when Israeli lives were only shot, bombed, raped, and beheaded.
Is that the kind of moral courage Dudum wants to preach?
No, it stinks and is a moral bankruptcy on both sides.
This means someone who actually has no interest in peace or an end to violence, when in fact it is a terrorist organization like Hamas that openly commits genocide against Israel and the Jewish people.
All he cares about is whether his side will be killed in retaliation.
And he was more than happy to reward students protesting demanding an intifada (the last one was famous for Palestinian suicide bombers killing Israelis) with work. There is.
Hims & Hers started in 2017 by selling erectile dysfunction drugs.
Ironically, thanks to its slack-minded CEO, the company is currently under public fire and suffering the biggest stock price drop in its seven-year history.
And even if the hypocrite Dudum paid me $200 million, he couldn’t convince me to buy his product.
