He can be. He is extremely transactional in nature. So it's all about the right incentives for him.


So you're saying he's a politician?


Why wouldn't he be? He's now been elected twice.

And on a basic level everything transactional so if you were being in cheek it kind of fell apart.


Considering how Google was suppressing the stuff related to elections - not showing Rogan's video, not showing directions (and was called out multiple times by Twitter and Musk) to voting locations etc. I don't think the new admistration will be nice to Google.


The directions thing was debunked repeatedly, including by Google itself, to which Musk himself responded in public with thanks for clearing up the confusion. Very weird to see it repeated here on HN.

Basically: it's because "Harris" is a county name in Texas.


lol. I remember trying to navigate to "aqui" which is a restaurant and it dropped a pin where I was.

(aqui means here in spanish)


> by Twitter and Musk

Is there a difference? I thought Twitter was Musk's broadcast platform.


And the foundational tech (Transformers) came from Big Tech, aka Google


It came from Google employees who left to found startups.

Google had technical founders, now it’s run by MBAs and they are having a Kodak Moment.
