So I was looking at some tech stocks that were showing varying amounts of decline for the week, and saw one that was 20% down. So I clicked the 'why is it down 20%' button and the AI response included "but as an AI centric company, it should recover and resume new highs"

True and Russia would be dumb enough to try...

But I think that he would be a terrible strategic target. Weighing the value of his leadership versus the risk of martyrdom...

FWIW, leading with that quoted sentence instead of a "Did you read the article?" would have worked out much better to correct the assumption.

You forgot Cuba and Venezuela, and likely more.

Taking some solace that while there's a lot more than just Trump at work here, he is somehow the key figurehead that when he passes (how long can a fat 80 year old who loves fast food last, even with the best health care?) wil leave the broader movement unraveling.

So there's are religious full who manage to be more about peace and goodwill to others.

Conversely, nothing about Musk or Trump is rooted in any religion.

However, religion is very useful for authoritarians to sucker the masses to believe there is some higher power that should somehow be considered on the side of the authoritarians.

Yeah, at the time a huge factor was that I had like 4 years equivalent pay in bonuses that I would have had to forfeit, so a big hiring bonus would have been needed to offset that.

Plus I hate interviewing anyway.

Further I have had some experience with a "hot" employer and my experience was that they knew how coveted they are and generally had an attitude of "you should be grateful you get to work here at all" compared to a "wow, you actually are willing to work for us?" Attitude at a less well regarded employer. I have no insight on SpaceX, but direct or indirect experience with a handful of similarly "amazing" employers, so maybe SpaceX might have been different, but based on the musk treatment is twitter employees, I'm suspicious.

Don't worry, if we are in the bubble popping, we will have plenty of dominos falling and each one will have a chorus of techbro cheerleaders proclaiming that umm.. actually it's not a bad thing for whatever contrived reasons.

Some of our comments don't deserve even one upvote.

Think we have to realistically recognize that not all the people advancing the agenda are bots or even Russian. Even without prodding, pretty much any perspective is held sincerely by someone or someones.

Besides, presumably the campaign would have the effect of converting at least some true believers.

Also, it's a bit of a fantasy to assume that a few datacenters would suffice for fully dismantling these sorts of compaigns.

Funnily enough, some years back a recruiter came knocking for me to interview for SpaceX. I was not especially interested (not due to any particular insight to the true Musk or anything, just didn't feel like it), and the recruitor seemed sincerely baffled why I didn't immediately fall to the floor in awe at the possibility.

I can count the number of people I know who have done that on two hands... Three people.

The neat thing is it can be all of the above.
