Of the four I'll take Bezos. Elon says controversial stuff but most of his businesses are legit. He owns Twitter now but he didn't create that monster. Altman opened up a can of worms with AI but I do believe he initially had some good intentions with it. I don't even know who Peter Thiel is. Bezos is just an evil corporate suit and Amazon will do anything for money.

Thiel is associated with musk, and a pretty awful guy in his own right. The short version is he's a billionaire techno-fascist that funds political campaigns for people like Trump. Here's a video for more stuff about him if you're curious.

Bezos isn't even involved in Amazon anymore.

He’s executive chair of the board of directors, what are you talking about?

Jassy is the one steering the boat now, and it's been rechristened as the SS No More Innovation

Elon says controversial stuff.

That is putting it mildly. He’s a rich right wing toddler.

he owns Twitter now, but he didn’t create that monster

I’m sorry, but this rings hollow after not just re-platforming Alex Jones (who was banned by previous ownership!), but then doing a show with him, Ramaswamy, and Andrew fucking Tate what? A week ago? I mean how can you look at that and go “nahhhh he’s fine”?

Nah man. Musk is harmful and making the internet an actively worse place with his mismanagement of Twitter and his haphazard faux-commitment to “free speech.”

Let’s also not downplay how we are all being forced into beta testing his half baked auto driving systems for his cars.
