Seconded. Given Musk's repugnant political activity and outbursts, this should be a non-starter regardless of his influence in the AI scene. Just the other day, he referred to people on benefits as being part of the "parasite class." (I am sure that’s some of us here.) A few weeks ago, he described Hitler as a "communist" to his fascist German buddies. Prior to that, he called for the execution of a federal witness for daring to testify against the president. What would it take to actually make him persona non grata at YC? Open racism? Eugenics? An “I ♡ Nazis” shirt, perhaps? Or is absolutely nothing off the table anymore?

And this is on top of the abominably illegal and anti-competitive training on private government data that DOGE is (likely) doing as we speak. The future of AI is in the worst hands imaginable and YC is cheering it on. Despicable.

I hope there's a protest. If he's there in person, I will be more than happy to make him and his kind feel vehemently unwelcome in my city.
