The reason all these people hate these Tech leaders is because they all wanted to be thought leaders and gossipy celebrities. The CEO of Verizon is probably a bad person but he just lays the fiber and puts up the towers and shuts the fuck up. These people invaded our lives
Up until he and Grimes broke up the only thing that we knew about Elon was that he loved space and hated oil companies. He became decidedly unprofessional when he got a ketamine addiction. His abhorrent behavior these last few years is completely separated from his engineering
If they operated like a normal company then hundreds would have already died. Starlink is life saving technology. They give it away for FREE anytime and anywhere there is a natural disaster. Search and rescue is much more effective with high speed communication. Ships and planes have incredibly reliable communication now, rather than just short radio and intermittent satphone
You know what's funny is I've had people call me fuck face and I've called people fuck face on this site for decades but the fastest thing that I see people block you for nowadays is making fun of Elon. Makes you wonder how many of these people are employees
The funny thing about credibility is that it's easy to lose. It's for the best that they revealed themselves with this one. Makes our job easy. We can just sort the Free Press into the agenda slop category and never pay attention to it again.

When this moment happened, game theory made me have to turn against the tech leadership. They spent all that time on Rogan talking about how Biden made them censor covid. Only for them to roll over immediately to Trump's demands. They fought safety but rolled along with fascism.
If you think Economic Populism is bad, just wait, it's only getting going. And while, for now, their main sights are mostly on "Billionaires" it's only a matter of time before the threat of job loss and economic disruption makes every AI lab, researcher, employee, etc a TOP target.
Obviously, AI is already very unpopular, but man, it can and will get so so much worse, unfortunately. Luddism has deep roots and, historically, is strongest during economic turbulence and shit's already getting shaky.
There's probably a way out but it's gonna take the smartest minds of a generation to figure out how.
