I know there’s other plausible reasons, but thought I’d use this juicy title.

What does everyone think? As someone who works outside of tech I’m curious to hear the collective thoughts of the tech minds on Lemmy.

    If you had any fucking reading comprehension you would have read that it is because he’s wealthy and influential.

      And if YOU had any fucking reading comprehension you’d understand that I’m asking why people care about a wealthy tech dude.

      As far as influential…. Tell me: who’s he influencing? Musk can be called wealthy and influential also.

      The majority of people wouldn’t have k own this guy existed a week ago, and now he’s everywhere. I’m curious as to why.

      Hope this helps clear up your confusion.

        I mean, the guy headed up probably the largest AI company that exists, with AI being the largest new tech that exists, and has incredible potential to change the world, for the better or worse.

        Purely based on him being at the forefront of the most interesting and novel industry in the world, regardless of anything else about him personally, I’m sure his position in the industry drives more than enough intrigue for people to pay attention to him, at least until they see what happens next.
