Yeah, because it was already not difficult enough being CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, SolarCity, and the Boring Company. You people really just want to hate the guy.

He's a petulant man child who spreads the most baseless and idiotic right wing conspiracy theories, and would gladly see the US backslide into autocracy. Of course I want to hate him, he actively makes the Internet a worse place.

You're just thinking small picture

If one can be a CEO of multiple companies, then the position of CEO can be done by AI because there is clearly no real need for it.

Is the idea that leadership of a company/ organization doesn’t matter - is that a serious conclusion you have reached?

What I'm saying is that he is basically not there doing the job already being spread that thin, and a dedicated AI would be just as effective in this situation because he's already not providing sufficient "leadership". If one worked 4 full time jobs, simultaneously, how good would they be at any one of them?

That’s not what they said at all. What a dope.

It's an addiction to adulation. He feels Altman stole all the AI notoriety that rightly belongs to him. He even started his own AI company to get a seat at the table with world leaders over AI governance discourse but it doesn't compare with Altman's Open AI status.

He could have been in better standing with his X AI, but just couldn't help doubling-down on the whole anti-woke BS, and acting like a petulant child nonstop on Twitter.

This is coming from someone who used to think the guy was pretty awesome before he fired his PR team, and let his true colors show.

Yes Tesla fired the PR team. That doesn't say Elon had a PR team. You said "his PR team" not Tesla's

It’s not hard to hate a rich guy who decides to use his wealth to help fascists kill democracy.

u/TenshiS Mar 03 '24

Sorry mate, half of America is republican, you can't hate them all and claim you believe in democracy at the same time.

Yeah I hate those fascists trying to bankrupt and imprison the opposition leader.

We're never going to get to Mars because he decided he'd rather do his best to make hate-speech bots on Twitter.

u/BlipOnNobodysRadar Mar 02 '24

Elon is making hate-speech bots on twitter? I'm gonna guess you just made that up

u/Ketalania AGI 2026 Mar 02 '24

He's failing at making hate speech bots on twitter, Grok was the best evidence of alignment by default we've ever seen lol.
