If you are going to include a speaker's child-naming prowess as a factor in assigning value to an opinion, you might as well just flip a coin, go with vibes, go with the one that matches your biases, or all three.

When I was a child my brother taught me to always consider the incentives, especially the monetary ones, of a speaker. 'Follow the money'. So, in this case neither Musk nor Hoffman would get much traction with me as both of them are incentivized to form a pro or con opinion of xAI.

It shows longterm persistency and character or in case of Elon Musk the opposite.

Together with all his wins and fails, it clearly shows that Elon Musk not an genius but more lucky opportunist. For sure not an idiot of course.

Follow the money is for sure a good point though
