Each of these networks is open to everyone. You can be straight and a member of the LGBTQ+ network just fine. You can be white and join the Black network too.
The networks exist because people have (and are) the targets of persecution. It's nice to find other people who will understand what that feels like and make connections and advocate for less systematic persecution.
I don't think I've ever understood the motivation behind working for so much money. If I got paid $250M a year, I'd work a year and then live comfortably for the rest of my life pursuing my passions. Even if the thing I was doing for work was my passion, I'm sure I'd prefer to do it without ownership of that work going to someone else.
These aren't annual pay packages. It's some "can't retire on that" base salary plus a promise of gradually vesting equity on a multi-year schedule. For public companies, you'll get that amount if you hang around for x years and there is no sudden decline in market price. For non-public companies (OpenAI), the equity is more pie-in-the-sky.
I'd expect a few millions of annual pay, anyone could retire on that. Whether someone wants to, it's different but having anything beyond $1M available is definitely sufficient, especially if you're sub-40.
Eh, depending on the stress of the work, how much I enjoyed it, etc, $250M can buy a lot of convenience in life that lets you do it for as long as you want and that can be truly transformational generational wealth.
Let's see the production model pull 6600 pounds on an 80% charge. Which by the way I see no stats on this on the site. But I'd much rather see production demos before I trusted those even. Even Cybertruck struggles to tow full weight at full charge further than 90 miles.
How much you want to bet you'd be calling a real truck to tow your ass out of that situation? There's a reason electric trucks haven't taken off for real work use cases.
The cybertruck is built pretty poorly. I think we can use truck stats from reputable automakers.

When were electric trucks realistically available on the market for a reasonable price?
I use a truck regularly (forestry industry), there's huge desire for them, they just haven't been around until very recently. You can't buy a secondhand ol beatup electric truck yet, so I don't expect them to be taking off yet.
You’ve moved the goal posts twice, and twice been corrected on your facts that were insanely wrong without a single capitulation or mention about them. You’re the definition of arguing in bad faith, and clearly have an agenda here.
I suspect you drive a big truck and base your personality around it. Big man over here.
It's not about super liberal views. The truck is a disaster, a complete creature of a vapid overpaid oligarch. You don't have to care about his politics to be disappointed with the loss of opportunity with the silly things going on in the CT design (a loss for the world really, with Tesla just deciding not to even try any more on cars). It's really a loss for humanity. We need great electric vehicles of all kinds.
Not about the politics of owning one, but they're just ugly as hell no matter where you live. MAGA conservatives that care about aesthetics do exist (e.g., my mother-in-law).
A John Deere is absolutely a fashion statement, lol. You gotta meet more farmers, because the fights I see break out over Case IH, John Deere, New Holland, and Cat are unreal.
If they did, it would be possible to detect the difference with perfect accuracy. Instead, the detectors made by those interested in pushing the concept of "real, natural" diamonds have a false positive rate of 5% looking for the inclusion of things labs could easily add if they cared to
