On a purely metaphysical level, its equivalent.

On a psychological level, the reason people believe in god is because it projects a moral foundation onto the universe, that it doesn't have, and provides comfort in the face of an uncaring world, were bad people get away with their crimes and the innocent punished.

Roko's basilik or simulationism inverts that, and projects either a petty & vindictive super intelligence as the god figure, or leaves it as the result of bored aliens. Which betrays either a personal desire for retribution (thats fundamentally malicuous or immoral), or someone only concerned with upper class ennui.

they didn't fire him before ebay gave them all the money for the product and he had a considerable amount of shares after the initial paypal ipo.

* Thiel co-founded Confinity, who had a payment thing called PayPal
* Confinity merged with Musk's financial company x.com, the resulting company was called PayPal
* Thiel had hired a college friend, Eric Jackson - and Jackson realised that PayPal was a perfect fit for eBay
* eBay bought PayPal for frickin buckets of cash, Musk and Thiel went from "middling-rich" to "billionaires"
* Jackson got I dunno a certificate of congratulations, but he still thinks Thiel's a genius and wrote an rear end-sucking hagiography of PayPal

so Thiel's actual genius move was hiring Jackson

stay strong, mr. musk. dont let the haters get you down. they're just jealous they aren't part of the bloodsucking capitalist class, and sad that they will be left to die on the climate-ruined Earth as the rich and intelligent escape to Mars to live out a beautiful, luxurious life in the stars. their blood will run in the streets as they fearfully watch the rockets blast off, carrying the gifted and beautiful to the stars, and theyll realize then they should have been as smart and rich as you if they wanted to perpetuate their seed.

anyway, you really inspire me, you did a great thing! - atheistdogmom85

From looking at twitter replies to the things Musk posts, I get the impression he has some sort of weird fan-base of the type of women who get involved in MLMs. The posts themselves also have that dogmatic feel to them, where they're constantly reinforcing each other and praising Musk in the same way MLM folks praise their company (and automatically dismiss anyone who criticizes the company).

edit: It almost seems like Musk is like the MLM for more financially privileged nerd women.
