Closest I found is this one: ```I'm generally sympathetic to what you're doing. But I hope you will take your time and do it carefully. This isn't just a company," Graham wrote on X during a back-and-forth with Musk on Tuesday.``` While not technically defending it's still pretty disgusting. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/tech-investor-paul-graham-tells-elon-musk-to-proceed-carefully-with-doge-this-isn-t-just-a-company/ar-AA1yrsPM https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/tech-investor-paul...

  Huh, weird exchange [0]. It's unbelievable that Paul Graham wouldn't understand how this forever and utterly compromises the Treasury. Nor is it remotely believable that he thinks Musk is capable of doing something like this "carefully" (as if there's a careful way to illegally tamper with the Treasury's innards). Seems like he is just tweeting so that later he can say "Well I tried; I told him to be careful". Doesn't look smart tho. Btw, afaik Paul G isn't CEO of YC, and hasn't had an "active leadership role" since 2014. 0 - https://x.com/paulg/status/1886741943050211408 https://x.com/paulg/status/1886741943050211408

This is the tweet I was referring to: > Whoever made the original graphic doesn’t understand the scale and speed of smart high IQ people who can program, and what they can do in a moment when intelligence now on infinite tap using LLMs https://x.com/garrytan/status/1886283334466302201 https://x.com/garrytan/status/1886283334466302201

  Thanks. Eesh. Garry Tan's Twitter feed has certainly been an experience... Perhaps the key for understanding the wildly credulous optimism on display in that feed is to remember that money 'saved' from the Treasury will likely fund promised tax cuts for the .1%.
