alt Hacker NewsThe question is what you think now of their old opinions. If you think the same, they have changed. If you think differently, you have changed.
If I look at Elon and Marc's interviews from 10-15 years ago I am still roughly 80% in agreement, 20% disagreement. I feel the same about what they used to say today, as I did back then.
Now I'm 20% in agreement (they definitely still have interesting thoughts) and 80% absolutely disgusted (with both, but particularly Musk).
So I genuinely think they changed in this regard.

Everyone has changed. You, me, Musk, Andreesen. But in that time, the disparity between them and "us" in wealth and even more importantly, political power, has ballooned. Their increasing power has fueled their sense of infallibility and inevitability.
It's not yet clear what these changes will engender in us. We are more numerous and divergent in perspectives and interests.
