> My question is how may of you are actually willing to give Musk more money after the questionable, legal, and ethical behavior he's exhibited while working for DOGE. Oh yes, far better to give to alt-man, google or Facebook - those are morally responsible companies!

I mean relatively speaking yes, only one of them is acting as an unelected dictator, circumventing our whole constitutional appropriations process by taking direct control over payment infrastructure.

  I read GP to say we need to be skeptical of all LLM providers which I think is a fair point. Saying we need to be skeptical about OpenAI (haha Open) does not mean we support Musk.

Far better to give elected representatives this responsibility, IMHO. This is bizarre. There are a lot of billionaires jockeying for influence and resources here. It's almost like a free for all. Musk could also use his position to force Sam Altman's hand in the acquisition of OpenAI, https://www.wsj.com/tech/elon-musk-sam-altman-relationship-6889a77a https://www.wsj.com/tech/elon-musk-sam-altman-relationship-6.... I'm not interested in either party, but it's clear there are huge conflicts of interests here. Musk also expressed disappointment when not getting a piece of this pie, https://www.axios.com/2025/01/22/stargate-elon-musk-trump-altman-openai-project https://www.axios.com/2025/01/22/stargate-elon-musk-trump-al.... I've also read more concerning material regarding JD Vances connections with Peter Theil and their interests in side lining the constitution for some other efforts prepping for "networked states", https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/magazine/curtis-yarvin-interview.html https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/magazine/curtis-yarvin-in.... Much of this is impossible to follow closely. Like I said, this administration seems to be flooding the zone with shit to distract others from what their real intent is. I think it's worth vetting and questioning positions in government, you can't just blindly trust these ppl. Something seems really off. I say question everything at this point. I don't trust billionaires to fix the worlds problems. Democracy and the constitution should be upheld and well guarded.
