Exactly. Mastodon supports polls so what the heck?

Can't even vote without a Google account.

I don't. Bezos and Musk are both terrible, even if I would say Bezos is worse. For just tech it would probably be Musk? But who knows, Altman and his shenanigans are also a frontrunner for me.

I think Thiel is worse for the world. Elon musk is more show and shine - and crumbles spectacular anyway

If the test is "how much better the world of 2023 would be if someone went back in time and murdered their father before they were born" it'd be either Thiel or Bezos. Probably Bezos.

If the test is "this guy just makes my skin crawl" then it'd have to be Altman.

I gotta admit I can't really be too angry at Elon. He fills me with too much joy. Every time one of his rockets blows up and his little army of sycophant morons cheer, it just is such a great time I can't even. He's just a funny man. Like he's a clown like he's here to amuse me. How can anyone not like that?

Elon shouldn’t be in this chart, too easy to win

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

@Moonrise2473 @sirdorius Well, Elon is evil by accident. Peter Thiel is evil by intention.

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

Probably because SBF is going to jail anyway so the case seem "settled".

AI is the big, bad boogyman on Lemmy. Unreasonably so.

He's a shameless crypto shill.

He also said that maybe India should let the British run them again.

He wrote a techno optimist manifesto that reads like a proto fascist manifesto. In fact, he cites Marinetti as an inspiration, who was founder of the futurist movement, and later author of the fascist manifesto and a close supporter of Mussolini, so no surprise I guess. He enforces ideas that this century is just a bad rerun of the previous.

Lost to Peter Thiel.

Oh! So he did. The internet is always right.

He's actively platforming white supremacists, Nazis, and far right ideologues (people who have caused actual, tangible harm), normalizing their rhetoric and actions, and making it impossible for anyone on Xitter to push back or even report harassment from these kinds of hatemongers. He is literally bringing the worst parts of 4chan, Breitbart, Stormfront, etc to the mainstream and trying to make it seem normal.

He's also a natalist and a longtermist, which are just euphamisms for eugenicists. He's not trying to make anything better or interesting, he's trying to create a white supremacist world where only white cishet christian men have status, where women are just vessels for procreation, and no one else has any place. The only reason he wants to go to Mars is so he can have a white ethnostate built on the backs of slavery, where no one can do anything to stop him.

Did you see that John Oliver piece on Musk?
