Dave Rahardja<p>Are you still on <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Spotify" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Spotify</span></a>?</p><p>Spotify’s CEO Daniel Ek has raised €600M for his new startup, which is developing AI TECH FOR WAR. Ek still owns 9% of Spotify, but has 37% voting control. His net worth went from $2.5B to $10B in the last two years alone, on the back of paying musicians a pittance in royalties.</p><p>And don’t forget:</p><p>• Spotify spent $250M of your subscription dollars to invite Joe Rogan to spew his disinformation on their platform.<br>• They’re still trying to embrace and extinguish Podcasts.<br>• They’re developing in-house, AI-generated “music” so users will play them (royalty-free) instead of music created by humans (who demand royalty).</p><p>And now, he’s using his wealth, created by your subscriptions, to fund tech that will use AI to literally murder humans in war.</p><p>Stop funding him. Quit Spotify now.</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/QuitSpotify" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>QuitSpotify</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>music</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ai</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/militaryTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>militaryTech</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/techbro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>techbro</span></a> </p><p>“Spotify’s CEO invests $1 billion into an AI military start-up — and musicians are fuming”</p><p><a href="https://www.news.com.au/finance/work/leaders/spotifys-ceo-invests-1-billion-into-an-ai-military-startup-and-musicians-are-fuming/news-story/78805666e2374281801622066dc87319" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">news.com.au/finance/work/leade</span><span class="invisible">rs/spotifys-ceo-invests-1-billion-into-an-ai-military-startup-and-musicians-are-fuming/news-story/78805666e2374281801622066dc87319</span></a></p>
