@FrancoisPrague @Futurism @futurism-s-story-of-the-day-Futurism A telling moment with Musk was when, during an early Zoom meeting with the Twitter devs, he insisted that "the entire development stack is garbage and needs replaced". One developer just laughed at him, asked what it should be replaced with, and sat back to watch him stammer some nonsense.

@Futurism @futurism-s-story-of-the-day-Futurism So he's an exec who's good at fleecing investors and customers because he doesn't know enough to care when he's lying? Typical.

None of the current and past technocrats were anywhere distinctive in any technology. They all showed a good talent in choosing who made their empire glow.

@Futurism @echanda Does Josh D'Amaro know how to draw a mouse? Does R. J. Scaringe know how to weld? It strikes me that the premise of this article rests on a misunderstanding of the role played by a company’s CEO.

@Spacehistory Altman got his money through being a eugenicist, not being a clever person.
