    Why is this even a contest? We all know who the “winner” is going to be.

      I don’t. Bezos and Musk are both terrible, even if I would say Bezos is worse. For just tech it would probably be Musk? But who knows, Altman and his shenanigans are also a frontrunner for me.

      I think Thiel is worse for the world. Elon musk is more show and shine - and crumbles spectacular anyway

      If the test is “how much better the world of 2023 would be if someone went back in time and murdered their father before they were born” it’d be either Thiel or Bezos. Probably Bezos.

      If the test is “this guy just makes my skin crawl” then it’d have to be Altman.

      I gotta admit I can’t really be too angry at Elon. He fills me with too much joy. Every time one of his rockets blows up and his little army of sycophant morons cheer, it just is such a great time I can’t even. He’s just a funny man. Like he’s a clown like he’s here to amuse me. How can anyone not like that?

    Elon shouldn’t be in this chart, too easy to win, makes the championship not interesting.

    Like if Vegeta super Saiyan participates in an high school karate tournament

      One would think, but with both Thiel and Bezos in the competition this isn’t as cut-and-dry as you’d assume. Thiel especially is fucking evil, he’s way worse than Musk

    I don’t like what Peter Thiel has invested in (Stripe and Palantir). Elon Musk is ceo of a few companies that actually try to create interesting stuff, it’s better than actually funding collection of data.

      He’s actively platforming white supremacists, Nazis, and far right ideologues (people who have caused actual, tangible harm), normalizing their rhetoric and actions, and making it impossible for anyone on Xitter to push back or even report harassment from these kinds of hatemongers. He is literally bringing the worst parts of 4chan, Breitbart, Stormfront, etc to the mainstream and trying to make it seem normal.

      He’s also a natalist and a longtermist, which are just euphamisms for eugenicists. He’s not trying to make anything better or interesting, he’s trying to create a white supremacist world where only white cishet christian men have status, where women are just vessels for procreation, and no one else has any place. The only reason he wants to go to Mars is so he can have a white ethnostate built on the backs of slavery, where no one can do anything to stop him.
