Welcome Bill jee

this week in Pakistan’s business and economics twitterverse

Bill Gates in Pakistan caused quite the fuss. After all, he made Windows which we haven’t always paid for bit greatly appreciate. Speaking of haven’t paid for, whatsapp has taken over the workplace - and its free. No key required. This week we also witnessed Parody accounts being treated as the real deal. All this and more from Pakistan’s Twitterverse.

Excuse the profanity but a picture is not a form of endorsement, or at least shouldn’t be taken as such Name a better asset class than a 2017 corolla. We dare you.

If only Bill gates was here on a legit visit to invest/ develop instead of a philanthropic trip

Sometimes we have to do a double take to see which is the real and parody account. This is the parody account. I know we’re just as confused as you guys.

You can’t kill the real estate market. The real estate market kills you. In a world of virtual meetings, please just avoid Microsoft teams. Thanks.

Poor Muzzammil got owned over something he didn’t say but had the tendency to say.
