The board is working with the assumption the CEO isn’t a liar. Altman is a classic sociopath, a T-1000 to Musk’s clunky T-800.

OpenAI is fated to implode in scandal. His 7 trillion dollar funding round ambition is a blaring siren to anyone with a working brain that he’s out of control and capable of doing real damage. He wants a sum of money that could crash the world economy. He thinks he should have the power of the world’s most powerful government. Solely dictated by his whim. He makes Napoleon and Hitler look like pikers.

He is Musk in 2016, when some of us knew who he was, and the fans were still enthralled.

You will look back and say “No one knew” and this comment will be there. We knew.

Musk will end up the Bush to his Trump. We will fondly recall the crimes of a guy who just wasn’t as bad as what followed. Why do you think Musk hates him so much? He’s a better Musk than Musk. He’s the guy who took OpenAI out from under him. It’s envy.

Just to be clear - Musk’s crimes are single-handedly turning the US into the leader in EV and space industries, calling one guy a „pedo” and standing trial for it, and supporting the political side that you don’t like?

> calling one guy a „pedo”

Yes, and just to be clear -- That one guy was a diver who put his life at risk to save trapped children from an underwater cave, a rescue operation in the span of which a Thai Navy Seal actually died. Furthermore, Musk went on record stating that he had took a further step of hiring a private investigator to dig up dirt on the guy, not before he called the guy a pedo, but after when the reality of getting sued began to sink in.

And a guy who insulted Musk first.

I think responding to "shove your submarine" with "you're a pedo" is somewhat disproportionate.

Yeah humanity in general and people like you and I are saints and would never respond to someone telling them to shove their creation up their arse by insulting back. The fact that one time in his life he did that is unforgivable.

I would never call anybody a pedo. Also, he does this sort of stuff all the time.

He called a guy a pedo but was impersonating a child on twitter...

The US dominance in EV is about to be eaten up by the Chinese, and Musk is in the process of making the company implode, e.g. the cybertruck failure.

The US was already a leader in aerospace, by a lot.

He called someone a pedo who didn't deserve it on Twitter, and then bought and managed to tank said platform, to the point where it is the go-to for nazis and propagandists.
