What the hell? Look, man, I hate the guy but he's remarkably consistent: he works for his interests. Even when he does dumbshit things like buy Twitter, the thinks he's operating in his interests.
He's not complicated. He's a self absorbed piece of shit. That's really all you ever need to know about the fucker.
"Elon desperately wants the world to be saved. But only if he can be the one to save it," Altman added.
From an interview with Sam Altman. It's grandoise narcissism, plain and simple.
He is the main character.
But he’s also a contrarian asshole.
Which he is also pretty consistent about. Yet somehow these children's cartoon evil/greedy businessmen are just handed power and trusted by such a shocking amount of people. It is kind of impressive in a "we're fucked" kind of way.
He bought Twitter WITH $22B OF SAUDI MONEY. Should tell you everything you need to know about the purchase, the motivation, and why he's "doing so badly" with it.
