He's not right though..
News hardly gets any funding by anyone wothout a goal of people telling others how to think.
The only reason this guy would think the news was ever good is because he used to not know any better.

I may have some names and details wrong here, but Elon is not the brains of AI.
He did start Open AI to find some people with the brains.
Andrej Karpathy was the mastermind of Tesla's FSD. He left the company after it was clear his developments would get FSD solved with enough data and compute. He's no longer at Tesla, but it is primarity his work that everything is based on.
Jim Keller was lead developer of the FSD inferrence chip I think. He also helps develop chips for Apple and Intel. He is not at Tesla.
Emil Talpes is lead architect of Dojo chip
Ganesh Venkataramanan is lead architect of Dojo supercomputer system
What we can credit Elon with is telling folks to make a robo taxi back in 2015 and paying people to do it, but thats about it. Keep in mind he became the richest man in the world for doing this. He doesnt need more compensation at the expense of Tesla and its shareholders.
If Elon died today Tesla would be just fine. I'd argue even better.. A lot of folks I talk to think Teslas are cool cars, but hate Elon's toxic personality and fear his attacks on free speech. They don't want to support such a maniacal weirdo.
New acronym just dropped.
NIMQE - Not in my quarterly earnings! Pronounced Nimquee
Example usage: The CEO, upon receiving word of a new bill that would drastically help reduce carbon emissions but also create a temporary negative pressure on their multinational's earnings per share, pulled a suitcase full of cash from their file cabinet and walked out the door, calling up the governor to arrage a round of golf where they would declare NIMQE.
Last time someone was taxed 45% was 1986.
In the 1950s anything made over $400,000 was taxed 90%

I've though about this a lot. I suspect evolution tilts a little towards psycopathy when wealthy.
Hard to say if theres a mechanism for that encoded in DNA, but if there is, Im betting it would get naturally selected for.
If an individual is in a position of power, then being a self-entitled asshole rapist will reduce competition and increase the spread of genes... Especially if the individual is a male
Assuming this has a negative effect of society, cultural evolution would hopefully respond with counters to this... Which I think is what we see time and again all over the world.
Society gets living situations relatively reliable. Assholes rise making things worse, society either crumbles into weakness or rejects new situation and removes assholes, encodes new ethics into societal norms and works towards gettingliiving situations reliable, repeat.
When more people are fed abd housed, theres more resources to devote towards economic and war engines, so I think this makes asshole removal naturally selected for on a cultural level.
This loop seems to be getting more frequent and I'd love if we could skip the parts where folks are miserable and dying.
Cam you post original link? I'd love to reply with images of factories with wind turbines and solar panels.
Fear becoming? You mean ARE becoming
Dont forget record cold! The cold air thats supposed to be at the poles gets pushed into regions that should be warm. So our crops with both be frozen and baked before they can be harvested thanks to climate change
Everyone's heard of the "Hello world" being people's first program, but just as popular among teenaged boys is their second, more advanced program: Boobs! :)
Havent seen it yet. I hope he put Bidens feet to the fire a bit over the Gaza nonsense.
I'm sure it was a tough crowd. CNN and MSNBC are very much in on the current official narrative of the white house
Is this a comic about boomers and climate change?
Very good points.
I will maintain the the big broadcasters and newspapers have always been slanted, but you are right...
Many, if not most journalists themselves have integrity and should be honored and funded.
Many publications do too.
