@suchenzang I mean working for Elon is kinda cool cause journalists and attractive women (possibly spies) are always bugging you and you low-key feel like a celeb.

@suchenzang I don't know what Yann did to you or to people around you, but it must have been bad. Putting him at the same level as Elmo is telling.

@suchenzang love or hate Elon, there's no argument that you're going to do much cooler shit with him

Joe: "If you're working for Elon, do you have to sleep in the office?" Peter: "Every night" Quagmire: "Under Yann, can I change certain policies around the training data mix?" Peter: "No the Llamas are already out" Cleveland: "Before or after the SpaceX merger?" Peter: "Before, but all the founders have already left"

@suchenzang They would both be amazing to work with for different reasons. I would probably enjoy working with Yann more for something long term, Elon for something short term. I appreciate Elon's intensity, but I would ruin my life trying to match it in his presence.
