Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

Why do we still say "Elon Musk made"? He's never made anything himself.
He already gets the credit for a lot of things he didn't come up with and gladly takes it. Unlike the electric car and spacecraft companies he bought and whatever nice things already existed or were in development at Twitter when he bought it, I fully believe he was at least the one who demanded they start working on an LLM, which I guess makes it more of his thing than most of his claims. And since he's getting all kinds of undeserved credit anyway, I'm happy to let the narrative be "Elon Musk built a chatbot intended to be a cryptofascist piece of shit like him, but failed because reality turns out to have a ~~liberal~~ woke bias".
