I want one of those so badly since it's perfect for my use cases but I also don't want to be an early adopter.

    Jeff Bezos being one of the owners is a big turn off for me.

    You might've been misled there: bezos is an early investor in slate, but he doesn't own the company and doesn't even currently have representation on the company's board. Bezos reportedly hasn't been involved in decision-making for the company and doesn't have an ownership stake, so I'm willing to accept that slate simply took his early support without handing him the reins

    Bezos isn't an owner and slate says he hasnt been making decisions. Not to mention, as much as I hate bozos, he hasn't came out as a nazi, so elons still waaayyy worse.
