To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk scored a resounding victory on Thursday as shareholders approved a pay package of as much as $878 billion over the next decade, endorsing his vision of morphing the EV maker into an AI and robotics juggernaut.

it looks like DHH is backing Palmer fucking Luckey (Anduril uses NixOS in its drones) to do the same kind of takeover as RubyCentral, starting with the same kind of sponsorship moves
DHH is also goading other communities to do similar steps to become more authoritarian.
For example he posted this tweet about NixOS (see discourse.nixos.org/t/nixcon-na-... and
discourse.nixos.org/t/a-statemen... for some background information).
