  Zuckerberg seems like a normal human after the shit-show we have seen over the last few years.

    Nice try, Zuck

      It was a point badly made. Compared to other tech billionaires in the news, Zuckerberg’s infractions seem less alarming now days.

          It's interesting how people only cared when he made the salute.
          • rbanffy 2y ago
            The excuses are what amazed me the most. But you are right. For anyone who's been paying attention, it wasn't surprising at all.

            Many of us cared ever since Musk announced to buy Twitter. But we were shitstormed and downvoted into oblivion here and on Reddit for sounding the alarm bells... and now, look where we stand. The salute made people care because it was completely and utterly undeniable evidence. Of course, people still try to excuse even that, but a lot of the Musk apologists got pretty silent after it.

              Even before the Twitter buyout, that guy has exhibited questionable behavior for decades.
              • mschuster91 2y ago
                Not that much to be honest. Yeah, he cycled through spouses, smoked pot live on a podcast and had a sometimes ... reckless attitude, but constantly delivered in exchange - without Musk, we'd still be stuck getting fleeced by ULA/EADS, ICE car manufacturers bribing politicians to soften emissions regulations and satellite internet being GEO only. "Old Musk" was a bit much at times, but acceptable in exchange for how society profited from his unwillingness to accept a "no". "New Musk" has that same unwillingness but is willing to destroy democracy itself, and that makes him orders of magnitude more dangerous.
                • blurbleblurble 2y ago
                  I beg to differ. The way he bullied business partners has always been trash.
                  • mschuster91 2y ago
                    Yeah but that's just ordinary rich-dude behavior, it's not unique to him by far.

                  Old musk called a guy a pedo for daring to tell him that a submarine wouldn't help in a cave rescue. Musk didn't learn from getting sued, nor from the permanent harm to Musk's reputation, possibly because people kept acting like it was a small price to pay for the EV transition. Now he supports a president who doesn't care about EVs, who dislikes renewables, who is restricting market access to the biggest and cheapest EV manufacturers. And, while I like space tech, to be blunt, Musk's reputation is now so low that I will not only not buy Starlink hardware, but also want to make sure I don't accidentally pay a Musk tax in the form of buying goods or services that paid extra to interoperate with anything Musk owns.

            This very website has traditionally been full of musk apologists who would jump on any critique of his genuinely unsettling behavior.

        Excluding Elon Musk, which tech billionaire(s)?
        • lostlogin 2y ago
          Mainly Musk, but Ellison and Thiel too.

        What a timeline! We only need ever more corrupt and criminal people, to normalize all kinds of behavior and ultimately justify everything! I think Zuck likes the riches, but not the supposed responsibility of being the boss of it all. Very typical for management actually. Very few ever stand up and say: "It was my mistake! I should have managed this better! I should have placed better safeguards.". Instead Zucky goes in front of the court and acts all stupic uninformed android. Basically, a master class in denial and lying. Not a shred of taking responsibility for what happened.

        Pretty low bar if you ask me...
