Is this tech-related? Why should this be in this comm?

I get your point, but reading about someone screaming and cursing at a techbro dickhead directly to their face is something I would not mind being posted as much as possible.

Peter Thiel is enjoying the White House spectacle because no one is criticizing him.

Just because is not a total idiot like Musk.
I mean, we were used to dangerous snake like people (and Thiel fits), Trump or Musk, are just retarded, no comparison in there.
Thiel is dangerous, Musk is just a kid.

I understand that Peter Thiel doesn’t like being in the public eye or being recognized. On the other hand, with Musk and Trump, they’re so addicted to attention that they do so many stupid things to get it.
Sam Altman would be one of Peter Thiel and Musk.
