Carl Pei Says Nothing Acquired Essential Just For Its Name
In February 2021, Nothing acquired Essential which had shut down in 2020 due to lack of sales. While Nothing didn't reveal any details about the acquisition at that time, Nothing’s CEO, Carl Pei, took part in a video interview where he explained why he bought Essential in 2021.
Carl Pei revealed that his motive behind Essential's acquisition was to secure primarily the Essential name, including access to Essential's domain name, social media handles etc. In short, Essential acquisition was only done for its name, neither for its technology, nor for its talent.
If you're wondering why it was acquired just for the sake of its name, that's because, initially the plan was to use the Essential name for the company's own product lineup instead of Nothing. Nothing Phone 1 would have been called as “Essential R1” as shown in the image.
Before the name Nothing got finalized, Carl Pei was considering "Stone" as an alternative to the Essential name. However, at the end, Carl Pei still chose to go with Nothing as the name of the company. In the purchase of Essential, Pei says that Nothing did NOT gain any of the company’s patents, but rather just the trademarks. Carl Pei refused to reveal how much he paid for Essential when asked in the video as it will breach the NDA they signed.

⚡ Coinbase Gave Up Your Info
@takebackourtech
On a recent segment of The Daily Pulse with Zeee Media, I broke down what's been happening with Coinbase. The U.S. government approached them for user data, and Coinbase eventually complied—handing over personal info linked to wallets, transactions, and more.
After that, the IRS began contacting users directly, asking if they held crypto—because they already had access to keys and details. This is a wake-up call: if you don’t control your keys, you don’t control your crypto.
📍 Take precautions. Know where your assets are stored—and who can access them.
