That dude is the definition of the useless paper-pushing bureaucrat that DOGE wants to get rid of. He should be scared of it, not endorsing it.
He isn’t an AI expert or even a programmer. He was a “product manager”, which is a useless role, especially for backend services where engineering does all the design:
Look at how vague the descriptions of his work are. Every LinkedIn I’ve seen from a qualified person either just lists the companies (because they don’t really use LinkedIn) or describes the projects they worked on in detail. They don’t write general descriptions like “worked on various APIs” and “lead several core consumer product teams”.
If he applied to a role I was hiring for, I’d throw his resume in the trash. If you can’t describe what you worked on, then I will assume that you did nothing.
He only managed to escape Musk’s purge of Twitter because before Elon bought it, he had already switched to being an analyst for a venture capital firm:
None of the startups he’s invested in at Andressen-Horowitz are successful (most of them are crypto junk). Some of his “advisor” companies are, but I suspect that he’s not really an advisor to those companies and that he’s just listing his stock portfolio.
Elon believes that people like this should be fired from his companies and the government, yet he thinks that this guy is qualified to advise the President of the United States on AI strategy and that more people like him should be brought into the country? Why?
