Jeff Lawson, the co-founder and recently departed CEO of enterprise infrastructure software company Twilio, is the proud new owner of satirical online newspaper The Onion. The Onion, regarded by many as “America’s finest news source,” is a digital media institution, serving satire by the spoonful for more than three decades — first as a weekly print edition starting in 1988, then as an online outlet from 1996 with the physical publication ceasing in 2013. The brains behind the new Global Tetrahedron is Jeff Lawson, who co-founded Twilio way back in 2008 as a way to help businesses easy embed communication features, such as SMS and calls, into their apps through an application programming interface (API).
