The point isn&#x27;t that they&#x27;ve never had VCs or &#x27;smart money&#x27; (we could debate Carl Icahn&#x27;s smartness for tech), it&#x27;s that their latest round of $750M didn&#x27;t have any. They have GM and a Saudi prince making up the entire round. Neither of those likely meet even a liberal definition of &#x27;smart money&#x27;.
