@prologic I didn't think too much of him previously; didn't dislike him any more than I dislike billionaires generally. He just seemed like a run of the mill rich guy con artist who happened to appeal to a certain type of tech guy. But, the other day he tweeted something about his first born child dying in his arms and how he felt the last heartbeat. But then his ex-wife tweeted that no, in fact the child had suffered from SIDS and died in *her* arms. And that soured me on him completely forever. He's the sort of self-important narcissist who would make up something about a dying baby to try to score points in an online argument. That's so pathetic and contemptible.
@abucci (forking this because I don't want to talk about misinformation and/or covid, but more focus on what really bugs me about the state of things, "information warfare") -- This is just abhorrent (if true, obviously I believe you, but I have no interest in Twitter or following billionaires beyond word-of-mouth Yarns like this...) -- I agree with you 💯 and share a similar view, I also never _thought_ much of Elon Musk either, initially had thoughts of "Oh cool, this guy is building that and this and the other. Awesome!" -- But boi do things change... Maybe its the love of money and power that's gotten to his late of late? 🤔 I dunno 🤔 I'd love to have even a small fraction of that kind of money just to a) understand what its like and b) prove that you don't have to be an asshole or a self-important narcissist (I hate this about "people" that get into positions of "power", such self-important BS)

Anyway this a perfect example of what I see as "information warfare", who do you believe? Elon or his ex-wife?! 🤦♂️ Also why in da fuq would you use a child's (short) life to prop yourself up?! 🤬 I mean fuck c'mon Elon, grow the fuck up, I'm a father of two young beautiful daughters, I can never, ever doing that kind of shit.

@prologic he grew up in apartheid South Africa to parents who made their money from emerald mining. He's long been part of "the PayPal Mafia" that includes outspoken bad actors like Peter Thiel and David Sacks. He's always been this way. He's a narcissist and has carefully crafted a cult of personality and legion of fanboys and followers who launder his reputation on his behalf.
I think, as a matter of self protection, we collectively need to *stop idolizing rich tech people*. They are, almost to a one, bad actors and not worthy of our time let alone our adulation. Given the opportunity they will do bad stuff. Just think of all the people over *decades*, like Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk who initially were propped up as some kind of unsung tech genius, only to finally reveal themselves as nothing more than greedy money hoarders who won't hesitate to harm people. This is a feature, not a bug, and we need to be better at identifying it sooner.
I feel like every day more and more stories like #abxlsba come to light about him. He's just an awful person.
@abucci and Steve Jobs, and Trump, and Sergey Brin.

People are not trusting anymore on politicians, religious leaders or elders, so they are looking for figures like 'self-made billionaires'
We know that's a romantic PoV, we can watch the amazing keynotes from Jobs and the beautiful products, but that's only a thin slice of what's behind a Public Relations team.
