This would've been a cool event if they didn't invite elon. He adds no value to this event
Nor does Satya. He has no expertise on the topic.
Meanwhile: “DOGE chief Musk asks X users if staffer who quit over racist tweets should be rehired” ( https://www.cnbc.com/2025/02/07/elon-musk-doge-racist-treasu... ) This is the guy who said things like: “You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity.” “Just for the record, I was racist before it was cool.” “Normalize Indian hate.” “I just want a eugenic immigration policy, is that too much to ask.” Why is Y…

Maybe I'm too tolerant of intolerance, though. I could see someone flagging an HN post announcing an event with a nazi headliner.
This tacit endorsement by YCombinator of the likes of Elon Musk and Sam Altman must be condemned in the strongest possible terms. Like Sam Altman's abrupt Face-Heel turn from staunch and eloquent Trump critic into gushing bootlicker [0], it is a shocking wakeup call that Silicon Valley monied interests either lack principles entirely, or else adhere to principles fundamentally at odds with liberal democracy [1].
