Hi Miguel, I broadly agree with AbigailT’s comment. Could you expand why you think this is a bad thing? From my perspective, it just seems like he put 2 people in touch, and that Elon’s purchase of Twitter was not immoral.
By the way, sorry you got downvoted so much. I suspect it’s because your comment was (1) strong/accusatory, (2) didn’t have justification, (3) and not obviously true.
Thank you Pranay for checking on me and why my message was framed as requiring justification from Wil.
My understanding is if you are to vouch for someone over some deal, my best estimation is at the very least one is knowledgeable of the person’s character—So the understanding I took from reading the exchange of messages was Wil is certifying for SBF to a degree and he knew him well enough over that sum of money which is not at all small. Well there are also blindspots in people’s characters—narcissistic personality disorders or psychopathy that can literally hide their true identity through fictitious masks people wear which might also be the case given that fraud was committed by SBF.
I see Wil as the largest person in spreading what the EA community is and the reason why I’m here in the first place—I hope he can share his opinion on the matter as his actions can really impact the movement at scale.
This issue can either make or break the EA movement...
I hope Wil will be able to justify his involvement in that exchange of messages with Elon..
