It doesn't raise ethical questions. It just raises questions.
I can see this technology, as it matures, supplanting a shit ton of jobs.

I love the idea of replace 90% of lawyers (or at least of what they do) with AI.

This is his approach to the flight tracking thing.. he can't stop them, but he can make it so expensive the guy can't do it anymore.

I haven’t seen a single this about this that makes me think it’s widespread use is a benefit to society. Mostly look like it will cause problems

Oh course he has investors. While he is the majority stake holder he didn't buy Twitter with his pocket change. He has loans from several banks and a hand full of Saudis at a minimum. All of which likely have SUBSTANTIAL interest rates given that it's a loan for acquisition of a loss leading company
(Source from Routers with some incomplete numbers: https://www.reuters.com/markets/us/who-is-financing-elon-musks-44-billion-deal-buy-twitter-2022-10-07/ )
He offered severance yes but that's not the point and irrelevant to this conversation
him using his own persona accounts to finance his shit show at this point that's on him and because he fucked up by coming in way too hot and torching any good will he might have had from outside investment. You can track how he typically finances day to day operations by looking at any of his other companies. They are all run similarly at the macro level.
Plenty of tech companies run at a loss and grow for substantial periods of time. It's not in and of itself a cancerous place to be as a company when your product will take time to get to a place where it is marketable. Those companies often being an IP to a functional state and then sell it or are absorbed into other much larger companies like Google/Facebook/Amazon. So much so that it's become a trope on TV with shows like Silicon Valley.

You suggesting private companies don't have investors?
Surprised you didn't see all the memes making fun of Musk for being pro 'free speech' yet have investors (namely the Saudis) who are famously not pro free speech.

I too wish I was born to an emerald owner. But no, so I will definitely not have the “success” he’s had.

Does he have investors right now? He turned it into a private company. Everyone got paid out when he bought the company. I think he’s using his own bank account to fund the business. There are no investors to chase away.
We should probably look at these tech companies that are growing with a negative balance sheet. That shouldn’t happen.

Yes. I know. Like I said, VC Black hole. My point was that with the shit Elon is pulling there, HIS investors are calling in their bets. That wasn't an issue for Twitter pre Musk. Twitter had made a business running at a loss and growing for well over a decade. Elon messed that all up because people hurt his feelings on the internet

It was running negative before Elon. They’ve been using Investor dollars to keep the company growing.

His "success" got a huge bump before he was even out of diapers. All else being equal, I feel like I have a far more fulfilling and joy filled life than he does. That has a value on its own. I don't need to be a billionaire to be successful. I'm comfortable financially, have relationships that actually matter, and I don't need to be a replyguy on the internet for clout. That I do because it's fun.

That's the thing though. They didn't before this. But he leveraged everything he could do hard that his creditors are likely forcing the hand. Before Elon Twitter was a Venture Capital black hole. That's not the case anymore. This new emperor has no clothes and the banks and oligarchs want their cut of the palace next.

Man Elon worked hard being the son of an apartheid Africa emerald mine owner. That hard work as all that slave money rolled in. He really had to break his back like the every man. He probably had to use an outhouse. Nary a servant in sight!

Please continue the apologist behavior for the billionaires. I'm sure someday the trickle down will reach you, and if you work hard enough, you too can hoard obscene levels of wealth.

Everyone hating on Elon musk will never come close to the level of success he’s had in life. Instead of hating from the couch maybe they should be working more.
