    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.

        I guess it’s just my interpretation of “Worse Person in Tech” are we voting them based off of their person or what they’re doing to the tech industry.

          I don’t think you can differentiate. Who they are fundamentally affects their actions.
