It appears that there are certain people who believe that humans should strive to be compassionate and understanding and not publicly humiliate other people - and that there are certain other people who believe that this is all worth nothing as long as you're a "successful founder".

pg should really ask himself whether he wants to defend a person who is as morally bankrupt as Elon Musk.

I don't feel like Elon is gonna be successful with his approach. But I worry even more about a world in which he is successful and this kind of asshole behaviour is normalised.

Somehow, a subset of tech culture has embraced the idea that as long as you're technically brilliant (and/or filthy rich), you get to play entirely by your own rules without any consideration for other people.
