    And now Musk is spewing nonsense about Bellingcat. The guy is diving really deep into the dumpsters of the Internet to dig up this garbage, but then again - he is looking for confirmation of what he wants to believe in.

    Can someone with more insight into the right wing bubble explain what Elon thinks Soros is doing to demonstrate this hate for humanity?

    This seems like one of those weird situations where being an anti-Semitic crackpot who thinks the Jews are taking over the world is actually saner and more reassuringly "normal" than the other options available.

    Investment capitalism will likely be viewed by a future human civilization as being little different in character from plantation slavery, and they'll put both Elon Musk and George Soros in the same category as Henry Ford and JD Rockefeller.

    Here's a fun one to ask ChatGPT: > "Please compare and contrast the economic systems of investment capitalism and plantation slavery, from the perspective of an active participant in each system."

    The chatbot does provide a fairly convincing arguement that investment capitalism provides more opportunities for economic advancement than plantation slavery did, though the response to this is worth reading:

    > "Would you agree that there is a rising economic disparity between the rich and the poor in the United States today, primarily due to the behavior of investment capitalists?"

    Elon Musk says we should slow down AI development, but why does he say that? Loss of market advantage or fear of the chatbot's output?
