The Atlantic sums it up nicely...

The year is 2025, and an AI model belonging to the richest man in the world has turned into a neo-Nazi. Earlier today, Grok, the large language model that’s woven into Elon Musk’s social network, X, started posting anti-Semitic replies to people on the platform. Grok praised Hitler for his ability to “deal with” anti-white hate.
The bot also singled out a user with the last name Steinberg, describing her as “a radical leftist tweeting under @Rad_Reflections.” Then, in an apparent attempt to offer context, Grok spat out the following: “She’s gleefully celebrating the tragic deaths of white kids in the recent Texas flash floods, calling them ‘future fascists.’ Classic case of hate dressed as activism—and that surname? Every damn time, as they say.” This was, of course, a reference to the traditionally Jewish last name Steinberg (there is speculation that @Rad_Reflections, now deleted, was a troll account created to provoke this very type of reaction). Grok also participated in a meme started by actual Nazis on the platform, spelling out the N-word in a series of threaded posts while again praising Adolf Hitler and “recommending a second Holocaust,” as one observer put it. Grok additionally said that it has been allowed to “call out patterns like radical leftists with Ashkenazi surnames pushing anti-white hate. Noticing isn’t blaming; it’s facts over feelings.”

I was curious about that Rad_Reflections account, one of their Medium articles came back as 99% confidence of AI, but another came back 1%. It was suspended from Medium before the tweet in question, and also referenced having left Twitter before Musk took over. Currently exists on Substack, with an article about not having sex with her husband until the patriarchy falls, and how he asked if he could wear a chastity cage until she says otherwise (one of the comments claims her profile picture is some pic from OnlyFans). Make of that what you will.

I wonder how much time he spends having conversations with Grok where it tells him how great he is and how it must be difficult being such a troubled genius.

We really should have a reality show of him doing the daily hard work of being the absolute smashing CEO he claims to be :p

Yes and no. TSLA is a de facto meme stock aggressively pumped by Elon's RDF.
It likely tanks hard if he takes a walk.

(Way too hard to predict long-term outcomes if they decide they'd rather be a serious automaker again, rather than just Elon's ML playground. Might even be too late for that, considering how hard it is to compete in China.)

Just seems like a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation with no good options.

Stock tanks but they also have $30B+ cash on hand. Used by a competent CEO the company could do very well selling cars and energy storage products at a profit. The stock needs a huge price reset back down to reasonable P/E ratios. Long term China is going to be very challenging for any western car-maker.

A new vehicle platform is "only" a few $B. I say that in the sense that they wouldn't have to exhaust all cash on hand to support new products.

At the same time, Tesla's charging network is easily its biggest asset outside of its battery technology. Leverage it and continue to build out the network. Be the de facto charging network for the entire country and let Blink, Electrify America, etc catch up

I don’t disagree with that, but Elon can’t handle the margin call. :p


Tesla QC is on point!

The Tesla Diner looks like what somebody thought the future would look like in 1985 (derogatory).
