A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

He's actively platforming white supremacists, Nazis, and far right ideologues (people who have caused actual, tangible harm), normalizing their rhetoric and actions, and making it impossible for anyone on Xitter to push back or even report harassment from these kinds of hatemongers. He is literally bringing the worst parts of 4chan, Breitbart, Stormfront, etc to the mainstream and trying to make it seem normal.
He's also a natalist and a longtermist, which are just euphamisms for eugenicists. He's not trying to make anything better or interesting, he's trying to create a white supremacist world where only white cishet christian men have status, where women are just vessels for procreation, and no one else has any place. The only reason he wants to go to Mars is so he can have a white ethnostate built on the backs of slavery, where no one can do anything to stop him.
I guess it's just my interpretation of "Worse Person in Tech" are we voting them based off of their person or what they're doing to the tech industry.
I don't think you can differentiate. Who they are fundamentally affects their actions.
