Posting flamebait and then editing your post to goad people into downvoting it for being flamebait so you can cry about Hacker News trying to silence you is intellectually dishonest.

I was downvoted first, and then edited it. Way I see it, what I responded to is flamebait, and what I said it common sense. I think it says a lot you're trying to spin it the other way around. No, no one wants to get his comment downvoted and cry about it. That's an assinine misrepresentation. But what could I expect from the permanently offended brigade.

There is no way this question is in good faith. The reasons are abundantly clear, and even if this was somehow true ignorance, a single google search will answer it.

Yeah it is. I was specifically asking if the poster knew the details because I didn't. It's just that I suspect that many don't.

I like that you’re familiar enough with Andrew Tate that you feel it necessary to point out that you’re not a “supporter” but not familiar enough with him that you need strangers on HN to explain him to you.

It may be drugs. Until he publicly outed himself as a druggie, his decisions were generally good. Since then, not so good.

Its a recent thing though isn't it? Didn't he just start getting into them when he hooked up with grimes?

I wonder if you would say the same with many nations doing their own space program? Why copy NASA and others when you can focus on poverty and other things than to worry about the rest of the Universe?

Some competition would be great IMO.

I wish Elon started a TSMC competitor though. A moat so high it affects geopolitics.

Don’t we already know the answer is 42? /s

I count a dozen dudes. I don’t think we’re gonna figure out the true nature of the universe via that kind of monocultural uniformity.

What do you want Musk to do? Visit every university in the US and Europe to poach off the top women in AI, so that he could have a mixed team? Would that actually be good for the world? Those poor uni AI departments worked really hard to find a woman to hire and then Musk comes along and poaches her off.

And then somehow that would be better, because?

Five years ago, I would have leapt at this. Today, there's no way I'd want to be anywhere near a Musk-based tech company.

> Five years ago, I would have leapt at this. 8 years ago, wasn't Musk doing this with OpenAI?

8 years ago, Musk's personal issues were less visible, but now they're apparent at a distance (from beyond the Karman line, let's say).
