Coming from someone who does believe in that "$#@!", I have never fully trusted him, either. He's bright, but a little too bright. He seems to say the right things, but then he does dumb, self-destructive stuff like suggest how AI could be used to kill people and then uploads AI into a robot.

People seem to just love him because he ((seems to be)) a classic Libertarian, which is nice on some levels, but then, placing that much faith in a single human being to literally solve all of humanity's problems is pretty much a textbook definition of the Anti-Christ, anyway. I don't think he is, but I don't trust him, either.

Cults of personality never go well, on either side of the isle. Or in the middle.
