A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Elon shouldn't be in this chart, too easy to win, makes the championship not interesting.
Like if Vegeta super Saiyan participates in an high school karate tournament
One would think, but with both Thiel and Bezos in the competition this isn't as cut-and-dry as you'd assume. Thiel especially is fucking evil, he's way worse than Musk
I live in Washington State, home of Amazon, and id wager more here hate bezos than anybody else on this list
But thats just because he is the most well known (and most annoying). If you were to look at the things they have actually done, bezos and Thiel are probably much worse
It is difficult to quanitify the damage Musk has done lately. It isn't so clear cut as paying for sweatshop labour or stripping employment rights but he has done a great deal of difficult to define social or cultural harm by empowering fascists and using his public image to endorse fringe conspiracy theories
@Moonrise2473 @sirdorius Well, Elon is evil by accident. Peter Thiel is evil by intention.
I dunno. Pretty sure Elon is evil intentionally, as well.
@zepfhyr Elon is a person that is very susceptible for conspiracies that fit his world view and he propagates it loudly. Peter Thiel always stays in the background and acts from there.
Agreed. Not saying Elon is more evil, but I don’t believe for a second his evil is accidental or situational.
He’s also a class traitor. Should know better than fucking over workers from actual life experience in the working class. Still doesn’t give a shit.
