Probably.
A16Z are investors in Clubhouse. Clubhouse gets valued at $100M. The PR and hype cycle begins. A16Z are powerhouses at coverage. Then Clubhouse gets valued at $1 billion.
A16Z invested in Qik. Marc Andreessen was on the board of Skype. Skype buys Qik. This is a common enough thing it seems.
Marc Andreessen is on the board of Facebook too. Zuckerberg comes on to Clubhouse for a chat.
Elon Musk big ups Clubhouse and joins a chat. Millions of more users join.
Then he gets Kanye involved.
Just agree to do Clubhouse with @kanyewest

The more users Clubhouse has, the more it can be sold for. It’s at the top of hype lists now. The value will go up as more celebs and tech bros join and the general population flows in. It’s standard for social networks to do that celeb catnip trick. Other tech firms know the Facebook connection too so that might spur them to buy it at an inflated price to block Facebook. This will be fun.
