- I grew up in Iran. Every day, I was forced to chant “death to Israel”. Generations of children have been brainwashed to believe Jews are evil. The same children are then given suicide vests and told to blow themselves up. Support for Hamas is not hip activism. It is evil.
- After 6 years at Shopify, I’m joining @Opendoor as CEO. Here is why: It is incredibly important that we use all of our energy and every modern tool at our disposal to build products that make home ownership easier. We must make the process of buying and selling a home less
- I will talk about Opendoor's product frequently and its stock rarely. That's because my job is to build the product and the company, and that will have good secondary outcomes. Tomorrow is the first day I am allowed to buy $OPEN and my family is buying $1M at the open.
- It is a good thing the pro Hamas protestors in Montreal don’t have bouncy castles and aren’t singing O Canada loudly. That would cause a national security problem worthy of the Emergencies Act.
- This morning we filed an 8K to say that my and @Opendoor’s X accounts would be used to talk with our investors. We’ve also parted ways with our former external PR agencies. When we want to talk, you will hear from us. Not paid professionals who don’t share our mission.

- As I left home on Sunday to come to the Opendoor office, I told my wife "Sweetheart, I'll be back home Wednesday or Thursday." Without missing a beat she responded: "Do not come back until there is a plan to break-even." Marry up folks. Marry up.
- I would almost certainly be dead if Canada had not become a place of refuge for me and my family. I love this country. For generations, Canada has been a place where you could come from anywhere in the world, work hard, and make a difference. But the Canada that I love is
- Capitalism requires a question mark at end of that sentence. Communism an exclamation mark.Capitalism: I'll give you $10.75 for $100 of your labor. Deal?
