Scam Altman and Greg Stockman stole a charity. Full stop. Greg got tens of billions of stock for himself and Scam got dozens of OpenAI side deals with a piece of the action for himself, Y Combinator style. After this lawsuit, Scam will also be awarded tens of billions in stock

X says the Boost feature is for premium users, but specifically say it's for a user's own posts and CANNOT be used on reposts or quote posts. If that's the case, why was Musk able to “boost” Ronan Farrow's post? The company won't answer questions about it either. [image]
