Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

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

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?

Elon Musk's X Staff Must Prove Their Worth for Stock Grants

A lot of folks working at startups seem to be "passionate " about their job. Some of them possibly, truly are. Some foolishly reverse engineer this passion because they're paid really well and they've been doing a good job and it's good personal PR to say "passion".  A few reality checks.

1. Your cool Bangalore lifestyle is a result of investment risks/bets taken by VC's .

2. Your salary is as much about the market demand as it is about your " passion " and talent.

3. Startups will generally lower the bar for hiring processes to meet their demand for talent. Why need so much talent? Because the startup  needs to spend that 100M$ Series C that just made them a unicorn. That's how they convince the VC to give more money. "We are going to 2x revenue by 2xing our salesforce and buying 10M$ worth of Saas that will increase our productivity by 5x. " And boom ...100M$ transferred into you SVB bank account.

4. You are as replaceable as a garbage bag on your dustbin. The HR is probably flirting with 10 other like you over linkedin.


5. The "values" this startup apparently espouses are mostly nothing but a honey trap and positioning to lure talent.

It's great to have a nice tech job that pays well and allows you to gloat on twitter like a techbro but don't let it fool you into getting an inflated sense of entitlement. You're probably living on borrowed time....and money. :)

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

- Elon Musk has filed a new lawsuit against OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman, claiming the AI start-up deviated from its mission to benefit humanity by partnering with Microsoft.
- The lawsuit, filed in a California federal court, includes allegations that Altman and co-founder Greg Brockman broke federal civil racketeering laws and misled investors about OpenAI's mission.
- Musk's lawsuit accuses Altman and Brockman of manipulating him into co-founding OpenAI under false pretenses and then shifting the company's focus to profit-driven goals.
- The legal battle centers on whether OpenAI's latest models have achieved artificial general intelligence (AGI), which could nullify its licensing agreement with Microsoft.
- This renewed lawsuit is part of an ongoing conflict between Musk and Altman, with Musk also seeking damages for the profits OpenAI earned from his contributions.
