you absolutely don't have to hand it to Sam Altman, but the first part of this quote gets at something that almost the entire elite fails to appreciate: folding to Elon gets you nowhere, the only response that gets you anywhere with him is punching back

Look, I don’t like bullies, and I think Elon’s a bully. And so I think once in a while you got to punch a bully back in the nose. And I also think Elon, like many bullies, only respects people who do. So if you want me to be able to work with him, maybe you should be happy I hit back once in a while, but I will work with Elon, of course.

Sam Altman is also a bully, the kind that tells people calmly how he plans to eviscerate their lives, and that we will pay out the nose for it, one way or another. Instead of beating us up for our milk money, he makes a deal with the principal to funnel it directly to him

I think just repeatedly punching 'Elon' in the face and not worrying about what he thinks sounds much better.

Manipulating people IS the only thing Sam Altman is good at, and he has conned a lot of money out of Musk before backstabbing him. I suspect he has good advice on pulling Musk's strings, and little else.
