True. He‘s more of an in your face one.

and this is why he s still popular despite his antics

Ah yeah, he’s very popular… with the “pick me” crowd

Why would you defend either of them? Billionaire tech bros have enough shills already. It was the unwarranted adulation of these assholes that got us in this shitty situation in the first place, where they think they can do anything and stomp on whoever they want. Don’t fight for them. They would never lift a finger to defend you and would gladly sell your mother for a lollipop.

I have to admit that my initial gut reaction to Musk is also one of pity. And I don't mean that as a cynical rethorical device, if I had his (blatantly obvious) insecurities I would feel bad.

Would only be nice if his insecurity were dealt with in a way that didn't affect the rest of the world.

Musk isn't a sneaky weasel kind of asshole. Still, he is doing exactly sneaky weasel kind of shit here.

I see it more as calling Altman's bullshit, but yeah, that's not the only angle.
