Just about everything Elon does reminds me of when I was 15. He had the luxury to remain there.

The Nerd Reich: Is Peter Thiel the Antichrist? NYT Didn’t Think to Ask

Thiel has repeatedly suggested that Greta Thunberg, the 22-year-old climate activist, is a possible candidate for Antichrist.

ffs, it amazes me how scared shitless this girl has got so many of them.

I think they're terrified that a single-minded teenager (as she was when she started) can command as much, if not more, worldwide attention and influence as they can buy with all their billions. It turns a lot of their assumptions upside down.

This is very interesting. If Thiel is right, it kind of verifies a lot of what we speculate about Elon wanting to build Galt's Gulch on Mars. I just think it's hilarious the idea a colonist might literally ruin everything by bringing along a phone or something with "woke AI" in it is such a daunting prospect that it made Elon genuinely lose heart in the entire thing. Woke AI is Elon's Basilisk.

The ill-fated bromance between the US president and the world’s richest man, which once raised questions about American oligarchy, is now being pored over by social media users in China, many of whom are Team Musk.

The latest drama comes from Musk’s pledge to found a new political party, the America party, if Trump’s sweeping tax and spending bill, which Musk described as “insane” passed the Senate this week (it did). Musk had already vowed to unseat lawmakers who backed Trump’s flagship piece of legislation, which is expected to increase US national debt by $3.3tn.

LOL the LP already turned into the Ron Paul Embarassed Republicans Who Do Drugs party in the '80s.

Seems perfect for Musk. That's his schtick.

Ooh, right. I almost forgot about the last time they found their John Galt.

I guess the existence of a real John Galt is like the fictional John Galt's limitless energy motor: nothing but a mythical plot device meant to drive the narrative to whatever point they think they're making.

Wasn't ChatGPT a DEI hire?

I wonder if you can use prompt engineering attacks to expose the new rules?

Grok's turn toward antisemitic and neo‑Nazi rhetoric isn’t just a bug—it’s a symptom of blah blah feature
