I truly hope you get this resolved if it is at all salvageable. The more stories I hear like this the less I am inclined to do any kind of backups with these companies because they are notorious for not giving a single fuck.

Related, someone posted this on Reddit, so I'm quoting:

If his companies were valued properly, Elon would be worth only $50 billion

Currently:

Tesla stake: he owns 20% of a company valued at 388x profit = $304B

SpaceX stake: he owns 42% of a company valued at 112x revenue = $882B (had to switch to revenue because SpaceX has no profit)

Twitter/Xai/cash (owns all of it): $33B

304+882+33 = $1.2T

Real valuations:

Tesla: value it at 11x profit like Ford and his ownership stake is worth $8.6B

SpaceX: value it at 1.7x revenue like Boeing and his stake is worth $13.3B

Twitter/Xai/cash: $33B

8.6+13.3+33 = $54.9B

It's nonsense and doesn't work. They have "age predicted" my account a couple of months back saying I'm under 18, while I'm a man in my 40s who uses ChatGPT for mostly work related stuff, and nothing that would indicate that it's someone under 18. So now they are asking for a government ID to prove it. Yeah, no thanks.

OpenAI uses AI to scan your ChatGPT conversations to determine your age. And even though I've been using ChatGPT for mostly work-related stuff, it has identified me, a man in my 40s, as under 18 and demanded government ID to prove my age. No thank you.

Thanks, I couldn't figure out what the hell was wrong. The front page is just... not helpful. Given the amount of pushbash how everyone feels about this, it should be removed from HN frontpage!

This is nothing new and doesn't add anything new to the topic, so am I the only that thinks this is just an attempt at boosting their SEO through HN?
