MicrosoftWhen Social Capital partner Chamath Palihapitiya woke up to the news that Microsoft bought LinkedIn for $26 billion, he was stunned. And it wasn't just because of the price tag. Palihapitiya told Business Insider: "One, that's immense courage by Microsoft to basically put themselves out there. "Two, that's a really courageous thing for Jeff [Weiner, LinkedIn's CEO] and Reid [Hoffman, LinkedIn's founder] to basically decide that they could do more for their employees by giving them a buffer and safe harbor of being a part of the Microsoft family." Palihapitiya had watched as LinkedIn's stock "collapsed on basically air" in February, falling 43.6% in one day and shaving off $11 billion from its market value.
