You weren't the target for that memo. It was written to motivate Nokia employees and prepare them for strategic shifts. It showed employees there was an overarching plan in place for the changes that were to come. I'm sure you can find parallels from that to a website run by a VC for current, past, and potential investees.
Wasn’t it plainly obvious to everyone at the time? Elop did everything he could to devalue Nokia in preparation for a Microsoft buyout, with the outcome that Elop would be a Microsoft executive for a little while - before Microsoft inevitably “pivots” to some new shiny thing and discontinues everything under Elop’s remit. I can’t imagine how anyone expected anything else.
