A lot of people have been naïve about Elon Musk, especially Lex Fridman and Joe Rogan.
Elon is not in the Ponzi business like SBF, but we've seen quite a few questionable statements and borderline vaporware predictions.
More rational scrutiny and skepticism is needed, as a general rule, for anyone in power.
- cyberlurker 4y agoI want to hear Lex Fridman say if he has changed his opinion or not on Elon. I am not sure about Lex. He gives a platform to people who are disingenuous and then doesn't question them hard enough. Another person who defends Elon is Bill Maher. I am curious what he will say in the new year. Also MKBHD.
- TOMDM 4y agoPeople criticising Lex on his position on the Twitter Files on the lex subreddit were banned recently, despite Lex publicly saying in that same thread he didn't want criticism banned. https://old.reddit.com/r/lexfridman/comments/zf0zqx/the_twitter_files_saga_why_lex_is_wrong/iz9ks30/ https://old.reddit.com/r/lexfridman/comments/zf0zqx/the_twit... Getting echoes of Musk honestly. So I assume Lex continues to be as bought into Musk's narrative.
- stephc_int13 4y agoI still give Lex some credits but I am also suspicious. I think he proved more than once that he is far from an expert on AI/Robotics, and that he tends to be naïve/gullible with his hosts. The hosts themselves are often interesting and the whole setup/duration is nice enough. I don't mind too much about the host being half-smart. Except when he is a simp of Elon his clique. Makes me sad.
