@parismarx wasn't it thiel and musk last year, too?

@parismarx Is Sam Altman really worse than the DOGE BOYS? I highly doubt that.

@parismarx it is so telling when there are so many worst persons in tech that a truly despicable being like Daniel Ek doesn't even make it into the final eight.

@parismarx

I canNOT believe Zuck is that close to Ellison.

I have NEVER seen human beings more existentially afraid than those doing advance for Ellison coming to Chicago to deliver some kind of schtick for Oracle.

They PLEADED with all the tradesmen to get out of the room AND back-of-house halls as the limo approached.

Not scared of losing jobs, scared of losing LIVES. Like the bastard could strike them dead with a look.

That's an olympian of shitty pettiness.

@parismarx my vote: ex aequo for all the eight!!!

@parismarx Ellison v. Zuckerberg is a tough pick. Do I go with my emotional gut reaction when thinking about them, or the one that is clearly worse by all objective metrics?

@parismarx @Gargron I hate a lot of these people but in terms of global societal impact it can never be someone worse than Elon Musk

@parismarx All of them.

@parismarx I found number 2 and number 4 particularly hard to answer.

@parismarx You may has well have just asked "who's worse, Thiel or Musk" and spared the bracketing and extra time.

@parismarx Musk is tough to beat. He’s just so talented at being shitty.

@parismarx This is becoming nearly impossible to vote on. Palantir vs Palantir. South African trash vs South African trash. At least any "worst of" contest that contains Larry Ellison is easy.

@parismarx I think it's going to be Thiel vs Musk in the finals. I'm betting on Musk for the win although Thiel is definitely worse.

@parismarx Are the judges byproducts of Capitalism?.. cuz this is smellin' a bit Musky...

@parismarx Whoa - close-run Zuck & Larry😱

@parismarx it’s definitely going to come down to Thiel vs Musk and I honestly don’t know which is worse… the winner gets *eliminated*, right? If that’s the case, can they both win? Or maybe it’s not fair to the other participants so we declare them all winners?

@parismarx can at least six of these tie for first place? 😁

@parismarx @aslakr Are we looking at a Theil vs. Musk final? I think we might be, although some of these choices are perhaps too close to call…

@parismarx
Ellison is engaging in some sorcery for this result

@parismarx I couldn't decide, please make it multiple choice. 😁

@parismarx It's important to remember, that every one of the people starting the tournament deserve to win the title of "Dick Head".

@parismarx Winner should win a one-way ticket to Mars ASAP. Let’s be generous, let’s give one to all candidates! Also: no need to check if the rocket is ready, they should board one of Musk’s rockets. They should trust their bro it will actually get to Mars.

@parismarx It's become impossible. They are all horrific. 🤣

@parismarx Some hard choices in that one!

@parismarx Andreessen vs. Altman ist such a touch call

The winner will be announced Friday on our end-of-year livestream for Patreon supporters.
