    To make things slightly easier it’s Musk v Thiel and Bezos v Altman.

    In the first matchup, I would pick Musk over Thiel for being a bigger POS in general.

    In the second matchup I would pick Bezos for the larger impact he has had on the world.

      I’m with you on the second, but I would have a really hard time with the first because Musk is more overtly a piece of shit, but Thiel has had so much influence over the years, including elevating Elon Musk to the position where he is today. I guess if it’s the worst of 2023 and we’re restricting it solely to what we know they’ve said and done in 2023, it would be Musk. But I think overall, it is probably Thiel just because there wouldn’t be an Elon Musk anyone had heard about without Peter Thiel.

        This is the 2023 matchup, so I guess it would put Musk on top

          Musk was likely worse in 2023 and does suck a lot in general, Thiel is more dangerous in general

      But Musk’s acquisition of Twitter is in itself subservient to Theil’s overarching political goals. One has been in the limelight more, but the other has caused more harm overall.

      This is the 2023 matchup. You don’t consider Jordan’s performance at UNC when determining their championship status this year. Heck, despite the past damage done, i don’t think. Bezos, for his 2023 tech fuckery, should have made it out of the first round.

      By the same metric, Musk easily tops Thiel first 2023 and is the clear shoo-in as champion of the worst.
