Starboard is involved in…coup d'état attempts at …intellectual property-rich firms, and once in charge, its modus operandi is to defund the company's research and development for a quick gain at the cost of long-term performance — a practice I call cutting down the apple tree to harvest the apples.
ICAHN: WHAT I'M REALLY SAYING, HIS WHOLE MODUS OPERANDI HERE IS TO GO OUT AND TELL THE TRACKERS THAT THEY OUGHT TO TAKE HIS DEAL THEY HAVE ON THE TABLE NOW, WHICH I THINK IS REALLY ONLY WORTH $98 TO $100 BECAUSE I DON'T THINK DELL IS WORTH VERY MUCH.
