Have we as a society really devolved into a "Billionaire Bad" way of thinking? Sweeping generalizations are for the most part myopic and tend to ignore the overall picture.
Where is the nuance, good faith and thoughtful discussions?
- iancmceachern 4y agoAll billionaires aren't bad, excellent point. Those that have signed the giving pledge come to mind. Musk isn't in that boat, where is his good faith? Where is his room for nuanced discussions? The way he treats his employees is bad, flat out.
- xedeon 4y ago> Those that have signed the giving pledge come to mind. That’s your only criteria? SBF (FTX) fits that description. Yet he misappropriated retail customer and investor funds. Being myopic leads to gullibility. FYI: https://fortune.com/2022/06/01/crypto-billionaire-sam-bankman-fried-give-away-his-fortune/amp/ https://fortune.com/2022/06/01/crypto-billionaire-sam-bankma... Maybe you need to take a step back and try to steel-man narratives you don’t agree with. Before prematurely coming to conclusions. > Where is his room for nuanced discussions? What do you even mean by this? I meant discussions here in HN. Do you have anecdotal experience on meetings with Musk that made you come to that conclusion? If so, please share do share. Most, if not all of your talking points have been news headlines. Which make me think you really haven’t thought deeply about them.
