I think I've found a way to articulate what bothers me about the trajectory of the modern tech industry (and to some extent... society).
We are on this Earth to provide for each other. That's the "mission" of humanity as I see it.
This is incompatible with what the tech industry seeks to do.

Make no mistake, Donald Trump and Elon Musk are destroying the credibility of the Department of Justice by sending its lawyers into court to make absurd legal arguments and repeated factual misrepresentations.

Why read past headlines: There's been a lot of coverage of how Musk built his wealth on government loans and contracts.
I go beyond that and demonstrate how he made his fortune on other people's research — and it all originates with federal funding.

Elon Musk built his wealth from taxpayer-funded research — now he's trying to destroy future science
The billionaire should be writing a thank you note to Al Gore, not wrecking burgeoning developments

Understand this: by trying to kill the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Elon Musk and Russ Vought are trying to make it easier for big banks to cheat you.
It’s another way the Trump administration wants to reward the rich and powerful while hurting working people.
