Elon Musk Donates $75mn to Trump's Presidential Campaign

Journalist

Ilya Sutskever, OpenAI’s former chief scientist, is launching Safe Superintelligence Inc., an AI startup “prioritizing safety over commercial pressures”.

What’s SSI? Safe Superintelligence Inc. (SSI) aims to create a safe and powerful AI system, approaching safety and capabilities in tandem while avoiding distraction by management overhead or product cycles.

Team? SSI is co-founded by Daniel Gross, a former AI lead at Apple, and Daniel Levy, who previously worked at OpenAI. Unlike OpenAI, SSI will not pursue partnerships with companies like Apple and Microsoft.

What are they upto? Well, SSI’s first product will be safe superintelligence, and the company “will not do anything else” until then 🤐

Still no idea what this means but great team doing something, will be super exciting to see this pan out!

Ilya's new startup!

Musk's Million-Dollar Petition Push

How does it work exactly? so i know they artificially place hair strands on your head but what I'm confused is the following,

1. You lose hair after hairtransplant is done and then hair regrow or something?
2. its not one and done, it takes about a year to show results? so does this main hair become natural or still cosmetic/fake?
3. is it not permanent or it is? 
4. Do i need to get it every 5 years or something?
6. why do actors with HT hide their skull when off guard, Ranbir Kapoork, Amitabh Bacchan etc? 
7. Will the hair regrow and can we get haircuts as one would?

Twitter, now rebranded X, has been ordered to pay compensation to a former employee in an unfair dismissal case. The social media platform has been asked to pay 550,000 euros ( ₹5 crore approximately) to Gary Rooney, who was fired in December 2022 after hashtag Elon Musk’s takeover of the company.

- Nearly two years after Elon Musk's acquisition, X's business is still struggling to recover from the financial strain it fell into under his ownership.
- The $13 billion loan Musk used to buy Twitter has become the worst merger-finance deal for banks since the 2008-09 financial crisis, with banks unable to offload the debt without major losses.
- The loans have remained 'hung' on banks' balance sheets, leading to significant write-downs and impacting bank profits and compensation for merger departments.
- Despite hefty interest payments from the X loans, the banks face regulatory scrutiny and have scaled back on providing capital for other merger-finance deals.
- The banks are caught in a dilemma: they want to maintain good relations with Musk for future business opportunities but are struggling with the financial fallout from the Twitter deal.

Elon Musk's Twitter Takeover Becomes a Financial Burden for Banks

Quite confused why the rebranding is taking place. 
Twitter is such a good brand name, everybody gets it, and has positive blue colours too. 

X seems to be something very random. Almost instantly it does not reflect what the product would be. 

It’s great to see that Elon Musk takes audacious bets all the time, but it’s starting to feel like he’s someone who lacks any sense of how user’s think. This could be costly for Twitter as multiple of these changes compound.

Twitter rebranding to 'X', what do you think?

Corporate Strategist

- **Elon Musk** announced a **$1 million daily giveaway** for signing his PAC's petition supporting the Constitution.
- The initiative aims to **mobilize voters** for **Donald Trump's** reelection, raising **legal concerns**.
- **Experts** argue the giveaway may **violate federal laws** by linking cash to voter registration.
- **Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro** expressed **deep concern** over the legality of Musk's plan.
- The **America PAC** is focused on **battleground states**, with Musk contributing **$75 million** to support Trump.

Elon Musk's $1M Voter Giveaway Sparks Legal Debate

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Things can go downhill, that's understandable but reaching out to an investor of the said startup is basically the privileged folk trying to get even with the founder on fucking up. Thoughts?

Can anyone explain what is happening and why it is such a big deal?

Some context - 
 Disney and apple are known to be pro left wing. These include ideologies around equality, feminism, LGBTQ rights etc which you can see in some of their shows/movies. 
  
 Elon Musk has centre - right ideologies. 
  
 Disney recently removed ads from X (Twitter) because Elons ideologies do not match theirs (an anti semantic tweet by Elon is the reason they gave for removing their ads) 
  
 Elon called them out in an interview that these companies try to "look good" in public but are actually "evil". These can be seen in some of their movies or cast where they say they promote feminism but are borderline Misandry. 
  
 Elons of the opinion that these companies use their Money and influence to force their ideologies onto people. 
  
 He said that the people can see what's happening will decide which side they are on. 
 Some of these people have cancelled their Disney plus subscription because they agree with Elon

I'm definitely not engaging with any answers that don't have a "Why".
Regardless, my answer would be...

Napoleon, The French Emperor and Military Commander

"The battlefield is a scene of constant chaos. The winner will be the one who controls that chaos, both his own and the enemy's."

I've been watching a few documentaries on his military tactics. His innovative tactics and organisational reforms revolutionised warfare, setting the standard for modern military operations. His military campaigns, known as the Napoleonic Wars, reshaped the map of Europe and influenced military thought for generations.

Personally, the battle at Austerlitz remains to be the best showcasing Napoleon's tactical brilliance and audacious maneuvering. In the midst of a freezing December day, his Army faced the combined forces of the Russian and Austrian empires atop the icy Lake Satschan. With the enemy mistakenly believing his right flank was weak, Napoleon executed a deception, withdrawing his troops to lure the Allies onto the fragile ice. As the ice cracked and creaked beneath their weight, the French unleashed their firepower, shattering the frozen surface and sending thousands of enemy soldiers plunging into the icy waters, resulting in multiple casualties and ultimately victory.

Napoleon's rise from humble beginnings to becoming Emperor and his eventual downfall at the Battle of Waterloo is a legendary story of ambition and power.

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Recently saw a post where a girl who’s started working got fired from her job due to some drama between her and the a RW mob on X and they kept tagging the company and forced her to be terminated. Haven’t really dived deep to check what the actual matter is but my point here is that should companies take action against employees for what they do on social media which doesn’t really involve the company.

Are there laws regarding this or anything mentioned when we join a company and does this set a bad precedent which jeopardises free speech ?

Should Employees be punished for what they post on social media ?
