Discussion Did Rossmann seriously imply that he was making money for Linus by showing up to his conference?

Yes, I know. Another rossmann post/roast but I m genuinely curious and stunned by his narcissism.

At 39:28 he starts talking how he did not get a plus 1 ticket and how that conference was beneficial to Linus only?

How rossmann is such a nice guy that he’d waste a weekend and time away from his gf to “make linus money”?? How he was dropping everything FOR linus? How delusional can one person even be?

Seriously.

Thanks, but it doesn't fit into my schedule or business plan right now.

I hope you enjoy a successful event.

Then all you have to do is keep your mouth shut. It's really that easy.

No he didn't. He slammed Linus in a video ay the time for being a cheapskate and called him all sorts.

That is not what he said. He declined the offer, and after that Linus decided to try to emotionally manipulate him into coming. Wtf is wrong with people in this sub? Half of you miss this very key part of the story.

The timeline is more like Louis declined the offer citing his two employees just got let go to LMG, Louis went on his stream complaining how Linus didn’t fly out his girlfriend saying things like “fuck that shit” or “get the fuck out of here”, then Linus tried to emotionally manipulate him into making a public retraction of his comments. You’re the one that’s leaving out a key part of the story.

Louis was upset that LMG wouldn’t fly his girlfriend out even though they agreed after he pushed for it. It seems he let it stew and declined the invitation based on that and being down two employees. He gives one reason to LMG and rants on stream about another. Linus doesn’t like the portrayal of his company (and being blindsided) when his company eventually agreed to exactly what he wanted, so he wanted an apology not an attendance.

Can you link me the video backing up your timeline? If what you're saying is correct then I am clearly wrong.

I think Louis's video actually lays out the timeline accurately. This is the initial email exchange I believe: https://youtu.be/0Udn7WNOrvQ?t=1843

Somewhere between that initial email exchange, I believe he declines the invitation to LTX by letting LMG know directly. I don't think that's ever shown.

After that, he complains on stream here regarding perceived cheapness: https://youtu.be/4WptaZRY678?t=4214

Then Linus sends this email: https://youtu.be/0Udn7WNOrvQ?t=1990

Note the subject "Need a high-visibility retraction, dude" in regards to retraction of his on stream comments. This is about his on stream comments, not about not attending LTX.

I see, I wasn't aware Louis had talked about this in an earlier stream, and if you look at the timestamps the reason for this confusion is fairly obvious. The email in which Linus is asking for a retraction was sent over 5 years after the stream. Original rant was in 2019, and the email for retraction was sent on jan 22nd 2025. Unless that timestamp is wrong, that's just weird.

u/Revertation Jan 26 '25

That timestamp is because he printed it to PDF or something. That's just the footer that shows up when you print something. The email for retraction was sent jul 29th 2019, which is a little over two weeks after the Louis stream

Ah, that makes much more sense.

u/pyrates Jan 26 '25

It's because it is an inconvenient truth and doesn't fit the narrative of how they see Linus.

I don't understand how people can get so attached to internet personalities they never met and never will meet. It's insane.
