i'm suffering through the new #JoeRogan / #ElonMusk interview and as usual it's a horrorshow of conspiracy theories... BUT

i am somewhat heartened that rogan is like "WTF is going on with this clown car of an #EpsteinFiles release? why did they tell us they were releasing all this stuff and stage this weird photo op with influencers then release a binder with 10 year old information?"

Elon offers some weak sauce defences but Joe is clearly not entirely satisfied (says stuff like "they should definitely not have made a big announcement if they had nothing").

(then it gets creepy because Elon accuses #BillGates, #ReidHoffman, and #BillClinton of being the "known" #Epstein "clients". needless to say, #Trump's status as Epstein's "best friend" for decades is never mentioned.)

American #Plutocracy or #Kleptocracy 🤔
Your choice

Silicon Valley is maximizing profit at everyone's expense.

A public battle has broken out among the titans of #SiliconValley. One side, led by Elon #Musk, #PayPal co-founder Peter #Thiel and venture capitalists Marc #Andreessen and #BenHorowitz, is backing Donald #Trump for president. The other, led by #LinkedIn co-founder #ReidHoffman, is behind #KamalaHarris.

We should not make the mistake of thinking this is a battle over ideology or policy. It’s a battle to maximize Silicon Valley’s profits regardless of the consequences for society.

Text Shot: On this objective, both sides agree. Andreessen Horowitz is one of the largest investors in cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence, and Trump has signaled that he would keep the government out of its business. Meanwhile, soon after donating $7 million to a Harris super PAC, Hoffman called for her to oust Federal Trade Commission Chairwoman Lina Khan, who has brought antitrust cases against Big Tech and introduced rules to protect workers. Silicon Valley, a longtime engine of human achievement, has become a significant source of human harm. Aware of the gathering backlash, its leaders have dived into the political fray to protect their wealth. Two Silicon Valley obsessions threaten the most damage: creating human addiction to increase profits and eliminating humans altogether to decrease costs.

#Billionaires mucking around with our politics!

Musk, other pro-#Trump billionaires have helped shape shooting narrative

“A chorus of right-leaning tech and business leaders, led by #X owner Elon #Musk, used their online megaphones in the wake of Saturday’s attack to criticize the Secret Service’s diversity initiatives, condemn Democratic donor #ReidHoffman, and make unsubstantiated allegations about the shooting

The claims by powerful business leaders with large online followings helped influence the direction of platform itself, as well as the storylines viewed by millions of people.”

...elaborating. The general theme of reporting so far is that the board was split over #Altman’s commercialisation efforts, including his tapping up #SoftBank for an #AI chip venture.

But also, the Temple was running low on Wizards. Three of the more commercially minded board directors resigned earlier this year — Presidential candidate #WillHurd, #LinkedIn cofounder #ReidHoffman and #ShivonZilis, a VC who’s been friendly at least once with #OpenAI...
