I very violently recoil from any of Musk's ventures these days. Im sure there are some very smart and talented people working at Neuralink. They should go work for someone else as their boss has shown himself to be a revolting person and the kind of leader who seeks to actively harm people who inconvenience him. This kind of behavior is not befitting of a company that will need to cultivate an incredible amount of tr…

I guess I have to say suggesting one not trust a Musk brain implant sounds spot on and pretty pertinent.

Nobody prevents them from getting a job, as long as they pass the interview like everyone else.

Yeah sure, because having a disability, the wrong skin color or wrong gender was never the reason for not getting hired.

DEI itself creates the situation where having the wrong gender or skin color was the reason to not get a job.

You cannot fight racism/sexism with racism/sexism.

The CEO of the company has proven himself time and again to not be trustworthy depending on his moods. Is that not relevant to this?

I violently recoil at comments like this.

Elon is so effective as a leader he seems to break people’s brains. No other person could have started this company and had even half this success. There’s a reason all the most talented flock to his companies, despite “conventional wisdom” saying they shouldn’t. It takes a lot of self deception to ignore the reality that he obviously must be doing something right.

Is he rooting out corruption and wasteful spending though? Or is he himself corrupt and attempting to stomp out agencies for his own benefit? It seems like the latter to me, considering which agencies he's targeting, half (or more) of his statements about the spending being falsehoods, the lack of proper processes, the people he's hired, etc.

I don't understand how people can be against due process, accountability, and genuine public service. Or are you just brainwashed by right-wing media?

Both views can exist at the same time. Many effective leaders are terrible human beings. It's up to everyone to choose their own, ethics and empathy is high on my list of things I care about in a new job but it may be different for others.

It's really suspicious how much media attention there is on the _people_ rooting out wasteful and corrupt spending, and not on the _data_ that's been released by said people _revealing_ that spending.

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but that sure seems like a conspiracy to bury the data with emotionally-laden garbage fear-mongering headlines.

Also note how in any positive/neutral article that even tangentially involves Elon Musk, there's a proverbial army of people reminding the rest of us how bad we should feel for enjoying the technological achievements when they're indirectly connected to said bad person, and the language that's being used is very emotionally laden. People "violently recoil" from any of Elon's ventures. That's not normal.

I have no extremely strong pro- or anti- Musk feelings, but the ADL (who seem to me to be the experts on antisemitism) say that’s not what that was. https://x.com/ADL/status/1881474892022919403 There also doesn’t seem to be any corroborating data to suggest he’s a nazi. I’m all for calling a spade a spade if he is, but it seems that people are working backwards from the “I hate Musk” position rather than forwards fro…

Forigner here, one who's family has been shaped on both sides by the nazis and lived through either bombing, or were active members of the resistance in occupied europe. That was a Hitlergruß, no ifs no buts. More over it wasn't just the once. Does it make him a nazi? no. But one has to question why the fuck he thought it was a good idea. He's terminally online, he knows exactly what it is. He's seen the same memes a…

>But one has to question why the fuck he thought it was a good idea.

Probably not a good idea publicly. I'd say he slipped if he did do it. I do find NS to be very funny because it annoys/offend some people, most comedians similarly will find it funny.
