Not ‘Used to Losing’: Apparent Elon Musk Pep Talk to His Cursor Staff Paints Sad Picture (gizmodo.com)

It sounds like Musk did not mince words, telling his newly acquired staffers that they were his way of playing catch-up. The Information summed up his description of his apparent predicament by saying “he wasn’t used to losing.”

Musk also supposedly said AI models are sure to become too advanced for humanity to control, so he considers it necessary that SpaceX “build the technology before other companies did,” per the Information. This may come across as troubling if you A) agree with Musk about AI becoming impossible to control, but B) don’t trust Musk and only Musk to be the one to control it, like he apparently does.

Healthy people don’t have a constant need for validation through acquisition and financial “success.” The richest people will always be among the most fucked up.

One exception is the founder of MySpace who just travels and is into photography.

I figure that you can become an accidental ten or possibly hundred millionaire by having a fantastic service or product. It takes someone completely broken to want more at all costs. I really believe that it’s just like hoarding.
