Elon is Unstoppable

[integral]

He just built the largest supercomputer in the world, and he's going to train the largest AI model that will outperform OpenAI.

I've been experimenting with Grok AI, and so far, it's the best AI search engine I've used. I think it's slightly worse than Perplexity, but it's certainly better than Google. I'm not sure why, but it just gives me the results I'm looking for almost on the first try in an intelligent way based on how I'm asking. Meanwhile, ChatGPT's search is pretty bad.

He acquired Twitter and transformed it into a goldmine. Everything he touches turns to gold. X is going to be a huge AI platform in the future might even be one of the largest.

I'm looking into investing into the Twitter stock.

Grok will be badly corrupted by all Elon's right-wing nonsense. X itself has already become a breeding ground for right-wing propaganda.

Nice. Future looks interesting

He is already worth $400B. Insane shit.

Not true at all.

Twitter/X is an unprofitable shitshow, bleeding people to Threads and Bluesky.

Entrusting AI to Musk is foolish. He cannot even run Twitter without injecting it with his silly biases.

Twitter is less truthful than before he took it over. Because he has no understanding of what truth requires. His notion of truth is just whatever serves his power.

He is good with Tesla. That's about it. 

[Girzo]

@Buck Edwards he has almost bankrupted Tesla by now. They have no new good-selling products and it's stock value has always been a hype bubble. Since the government subsidies are ending, it's really doubtful if Tesla will survive the next decade.

"It would be profoundly un-American to use political power, to the degree that Elon has it, to hurt your competitors and advantage your own businesses,” Altman said. “And I don’t think people would tolerate that. I don’t think Elon would do it."

@integral Btw, with that type of epistemology you're gonna lose your pants in the stock market, that place is like poker at the global scale.

CNN says Twitter/X is more balanced:

Quote

The party ID among those who regularly use X/Twitter for news——Back in 2022, 65% of those who regularly used Twitter/X for news were Democrats. Just 31% were Republicans." "Look at where we are today. Just a completely different picture. Now it's basically split between Democrats at 48%, Republicans at 47%." "Now, this new overall makeup, matches the overall electorate FAR better."

Leftists don't like when they are not a majority and the voices of the opposition are not censored.

Imagine being so delusional as to categorize Tesla as "almost bankrupt" when it just hit new All Time Highs just yesterday...

Will it crash from here? who knows, meanwhile it 10x my money...

Lots of Tesla law suits, deaths, and crashes.

Use some critical thinking skills and add facts up. If Republican base is older, and older people use computers less, then of course social media traffic will be skewed Democrat. What you are quoting is the fact the website is pandering to the right-wingers and siphoning them into the site. It's an unusually high percentage of people leaning right-wing that visit the site.

This purely a bet on corruption by the market traders. They hope the company will do well financially as Elon Mua is "friends" with the President who is of questionable morality. That doesn't mean the company is managed well and doing well financially when it comes to actual sales of the products. Model 3 is an old car and they have nothing new that sells. Less than half a year ago Musk had wanted to get $56B out of company, that would tank it.

😂 OK I was slightly off with that one. What happened was I started using the X platform specifically for the AI. And it’s so good that I know it’s gonna make money.

Of course he has corrupted free speech and has no interest in Real truth. I agree with that.

Tesla crashes are not a big deal. All models of cars crash. Eventually Tesla autopilot will be safer than human drivers.

The problem is, who is going to be accountable for the mistakes a Telsa car makes? Who goes to prison for it? 

If a Telsa car causes 2 families to die in a car crash because the AI made some miscalculation, who is culpable? The programmers? What if a new update causes a hundred people to die, because there was some sort of mistake?

47% Reps to 48% dems is unusually high? Only compared to pre-Elon when the right was censored. Name one leftist who was censored before Elon (and after Elon for that matter)

One of the first measures DT announced is removing incentives for EVs, and guess who's going to suffer? Tesla has the highest margin per car built, they are able to withstand a reduction in tax incentives, other automakers won't.

How are republicans going to help Tesla preferentially, and not all other EV makers? It's only Gavin Newsom that announced they're going to continue the tax incentives for EVs except Teslas, even though They have their first Gigafactory there, Fremont. How is it legal to discriminate against a particular company?

Joe Biden did not invite Musk to the EV summit, the largest EV maker at the time, and instead praised GM for their leadership in the EV domain, in the quarter that GM delivered 26 electric vehicles and Tesla delivered 300,000

An old car with a facelift and still outsells all other EVs. They must be doing something right then, able to sell a much cheaper (and I would argue better) car with a much higher profit margin. Also Model Y, without a facelift yet, was World's Number one selling vehicle last year (car, not EV, car!!!)

As aTesla shareholder, I voted for Elon's pay package as agreed in advance. But the Delaware judge keeps messing with the wishes of the shareholders...

"Of course" you hastily agreed with something that's probably incorrect. Unless you want free speech only for people that you agree with? 

The value of free speech is when it is defended especially for people you don't agree with. Since Musk's acquisition, the previously censored right wing speech was freed.

Sam Altman would have played the same game even better if dems won the election.

If Altman goes down with closedAI I wouldn't even notice.

Spending 44 billion dollars to help Trump win the presidency is Free Speech! Sounds about right!

Every terrorist group should have the ability to amount the largest X follower base possible and promote their content as much as possible without any restraint cuz that's free speech!

The whole problem is 100% freedom is not a good thing.

Intelligent restraints are necessary for the freedom people really want. 100% freedom is chaos and not the freedom we actually want.

I should be able to Market my (" insert illegal scam ") as a healthy choice that doctors recommend, because free speech!
