LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman is not shy when expressing his opinions of President Trump.
The entrepreneur, who now sits on Microsoft's board of directors and is a partner at venture capital firm Greylock, campaigned publicly for Hillary Clinton and in March said that Trump was even worse than he feared.
In an interview with CNBC's Julia Boorstin at the Disruptor 50 event in San Francisco on Wednesday night, Hoffman had perhaps his harshest words yet about the president, calling him "worse than useless" and saying that he'd "take someone randomly picked from a phone book" over him as president.
He singled out Trump's criticism of legitimate news sources like CNN as "basically criminal negligence" because we need to have "robust media functions" to check abuses by government.
Hoffman also discussed entrepreneurialism and the challenges of turning a start-up into a successful high-scale business.
One challenge, he said, is maintaining a consistent culture as a company goes through different stages -- the CEOs of a 50-person company might be able to interview every new employee for cultural fit, for example, while a 10,000-person company needs systems in place to communicate the company's cultural mandates to new hires.
He also suggested that Uber, while it did many things right, missed the transition from being "pirates" to "navy" -- that is, from scrappy start-up to powerful established company -- and that some of its cultural problems may have arisen because of that.....

This is just what Rachel Maddow would peddle.
When the founder of a major social media site says something political, Free Republic wants to know about it. So unless you’ve recently bought the site from Jim you can pipe down.
You say this site must know about this? Harhar. Everyone has heard all this hate Trump rhetoric a thousand + times. No? But feel free to slap up another 1,000.
Well yes, as a matter of fact... I've found it to be very useful. Having said that, who here has found good alternatives to it?
I constantly get ‘invites’ to join Linkdin. I refuse.
This creep will reinforce that decision.
Dear LinkedIn founder, F U...and ESAD...Thank you...
Ironic. LinkedIn is what is useless. I was a member for years when I had a real estate business, had many contacts, etc. the usual thing.
Never got a single piece of business from it. Never came across an opportunity to give anyone I was “linked” to business either. Business back and forth did happen, but always with people I already knew before we “linked up”.
Real estate went great, I retired at 60 but LinkedIn had nothing to do with that.
Who is this tumble guts? Never heard of him.Mail order bride? She must just be biding her time before losing the slob and separating him from a fortune.
I’m not sure, since I never used it. I looked at it about 3 years ago, and when you see ‘I.M. Anutcase’ while looking to see if you want to hire someone, it is not a serious site.
Done! But there doesn’t seem to be a good clean way of disappearing.
It’s in his interest that the economy be crap, and lots of people need to try to get jobs on his web site. He is mad that the economy is going gangbusters.
who has Hoffman written checks to lately I wonder
big mouths usually leave a trail to hide
Flounder! There you are ;) Ken Dorfman from Animal House?!? Wondered what ever happened to him ;)
I have no doubt ya think articles titled,
“Trump is worse than useless as a president”, are “General knowledge and specific information”.
And if people haven’t figured out by now Microsoft and the rest of west coast tech firms are not extreme leftist, they never will. And stop with the apology bull sh*t. Ya sound just like all the easily offended leftist screw worms.
>>Are extreme leftist<<
