I’d rather attempt greatness and fail spectacularly than be a grubby middleman mocking ambition from the comfortable pool of stagnation.

Adrian Dittman is not Elon Musk. He is a German guy who gained followers on X for sounding a lot like Elon. How do we know he's not Elon? 1. People have met him, and seen who he is. He's not Elon. 2. He has spoken with Elon in Spaces, been online at times when Elon has been on…

@wordgrammer Imo two types of people are out here claiming software is “solved” - researchers who never worked with a production system - VC types who don’t even know how to code
