Doesn't need to be a choice.

And how much better than palantir given that musk is a bigot, attempts to buy elections for fascists, meddles in foreign democracies to push far right extremist narratives, used his wealth to steal very sensitive data from government agencies, does Nazi salutes, trains his LLM to be racist...

    Its a bit tiring to be virtue signalling all the time.

    > bigot

    > fascist

    > far right extremist

    > nazi

    > racist

    (just pulled a few words from your small comment)

      Is it virtual signaling when Americans are getting sent to concentration camps and executed by the federal government?

      Complaining about signaling virtue is just a pattern for signaling vice.

      I mean, in the case of Elon all of those labels are applicable.

      It’s not virtue signaling to say the guy throwing around nazi salutes is in fact a nazi.

        yeah even if i believe this were the case, i would never form a sentence like that juggling all known slurs used for right wing people.

      Haha so calling out actual racists and Nazis is now considered virtue signalling?

      Good one
