Altman to Musk: Don't go full supervillain – that's so un-American OpenAI boss Sam Altman has expressed hope that Elon Musk won't use his political clout to hurt his competitors, describing such activity as "un-American." During the New York Times Dealbook Summit, Altman was reported as saying: "It would be profoundly un-American to use political power to hurt your competitors and advantage …
You right wing nutjobs love to call for people to be locked up, when their only "crime" is not bowing before your right wing gods like melon and the orange felon. I imagine you probably think I should also be locked up for the sin of referring to them in such disparaging (but in Trump's case, correct) terms.
Mr Altman apparently skipped the chapter on "The Gilded Age1" when he studied history, assuming, of course, he did study history.

IT is never enough for the likes of Leon SKUM.
He wants political power. He can't be POTUS so being Melania's replacement is the next step on his way to becoming Supreme Leader of the USA. Anyone who says a word against him is sent to the GIGA camp in the Texas Desert OR to one of his GIGA factories to make the Muskmobiles that he'll make everyone drive at $1.00 per mile rental.
“It would be profoundly un-American to use political power to hurt your competitors and advantage your own businesses”
I’m thrilled to hear that there is no lobbying in the US. Americans must be so happy that their politicians are free to act for the greater good and big business stays out of policy and law-making. Strange that so many Americans seem unhappy with their leaders. They must not understand how lucky they are.
Nah, it is just the expected response. You know "Surely you, great, wise and powerfull Lord, would never stoop so low as to act like those vile scum that we both despise, and which act would, in the practially inconcievable event that You would chose such a path, seriously inceonvenience and undermine me, your loyal and ever faitheful servant and worskipper". The only difference is tbat he is not exepect to do a full prostration and kiss Musks feet, and that we try to avoid the more flowery language: the expectation is still there.
Presumably the AI nutter was thinking Lex Luthor, The Master (aka Missy), John Lumic or any of the Bond villains but the pair of them between them couldn't rise to the level of The Joker and The Penguin or The Riddler.*
(Catwoman was a bit too complicated for either of them and definitely a lot easier on the eyes.)

He's not an American, he's originally from South Africa There are reports that he entered the US on a student visa to attend Grad School but did not comply with that and then overstayed his visa. (reportedly along with his brother who admitted the same in an interview) I'd like to see his application for residency/citizenship to see how he reported whether he was legally in the US at the time. I'd also like to see the paperwork and how it is "cleaned up" later. (if ever)
'Tis the season indeed, for the Über Rich to re-evaluate their prep plans for the rivalry apocalypse, pondering such menial trife as whether to make security guards wear disciplinary collars ... all in joyful merriment!
or Trumps for that matter.
If you have done it even accidentally, then I'd be looking at getting the hell out of dodge (or DC) before the Trump-Musk storm-troopers come knocking at 04:00 on a cold January night.
Get out while you can people. The next 20 years (Trump v2.0, 2025-2029, Vance 2029-2037, Don Jnr 2037-2045) are not going to be nice for anyone who isn't Ultra MAGA.
He already did that and was convicted for inciting the violent attempt at an overthrow of the duly elected USG.
How a TRAITOR ends up President is beyond me.
Maybe if I beat myself with a large gold brick wrapped in a lemon peel, American politics would make sense to me....
