One of these things is not like the other. Altman led OpenAI to an industry leading position and produced record results in product adoption. Even if that is over-praising him, Microsoft's fast and enormous investment in OpenAI was evidently closely linked to Altman. Just springing a surprise on Microsoft was dunderheaded enough to make it obvious that, whatever the board was doing, it was the opposite of what should have been done.

In contrast, it is equally obvious Elon dragged $44B into the road and set it on fire.

How is it equally obvious Elon dragged $44B into the road and set it on fire? Are you sure you aren't speaking from a perspective of bias that already has a disdain towards Elon?

Good point. Based on the latest internal valuation, Elon only destroyed $25b in the first year.

Internal valuations can predict market prices of currently private companies? That’s amazing, someone should go make billions off that

Yes. Everything at X is going swimmingly well, and the statement that from the company that it lost half its valuation, and the owner publicly telling companies to stop advertising on it is actually 19 dimensional chessboxing.

Geez, man. A contortionist would be envious of how you.

Your assessment is clearly outputted from a model weighted towards disdain.

I have no idea what you’re trying to say.
