It isn’t racist enough, so he has to take over and train it on nazi propaganda.
Would be funny to watch this go through and see how quickly he changes his mind on Open AI’s business model.

He’d be allowed to back out on this one unlike Twitter. He’d use his power with trump to prevent the SEC from forcing the sale to go through like the SEC did with Twitter.
I’m referring to his complaints about open ai moving towards a for profit business model. Musk wants to stop this.
not even one-third of the valuation openai thinks they’re worth (up to 340b). and still below what investors thought in 2022 (157b). src
i think this is old spice admitting that xAI is total bullshit and he’s giving up on making his own.
Is xAI the same as grok? I really haven’t paid attention to Musk.
Has there been any improvement in fsd since the introduction of the AI initiatives?
Given what happened to twitter I can see this deal being finalized at 600billion.
Yes, specially 600 billion of federal funding
I’d take $5M of government funding and make similar progress. Yo DOGE, call me.
I thought this was because he’s still pissy they cut him out, but I guess his reasons can be multifaceted
Open-source just turned its value to dog shit, I’d say the offer is far above its value.
With how twitters value has gone since he bought it, I’d say he is pretty bad at this
Maybe below what investors or OpenAI thinks, but I think I’d take it. Unless they’ve got more secrets up their sleeve I don’t seem them ever being worth that much.
How stupid is this conspiracy theory:
If it were a threat, like “this is what you’re gonna be worth if you don’t accept, anyway” depending on how power drunk he was feeling when hitting Tweet
Lol is that even a thing? xAI? I’ve never heard of it, and I self host AI’s, and explore them often.
i think this is old spice admitting that xAI is total bullshit
Well, to be 100% fair, it’s all total bullshit.
I use a 16b reduction of deepseek-r1 on my pc at home and it’s definitely not total bullshit. It’s 10gb of local model that can solve mathematics and physics problems for you or program in python or bash. It doesn’t hallucinate (or I haven’t been able to elicit it), it’s aware of the extents of its knowledge. It works incredibly fast on an old ryzen 1600 with 6600xt. Having an open source reasoning AI that takes 10gb of SSD and about 13 gb of ram is so weird that the only thing weirder is seeing smart people dismiss it as bullshit out of hand.
an open source reasoning AI
It’s still an LLM right? I’m going to have to take issue with your use of the word ‘reasoning’ here
OK, it just spits predicted tokens, but in answer to what you asked and sensitive to the context you provided and its predictions are arranged such that when you decode them into language they present evidence or arguments used in thinking or argumentation. It also forms conclusions, inferences and produces results to problems, if you allow me to recycle from a dictionary definition of “reasoning”. It’s not perfect and obviously you can’t cram a huge amount into a 16b distillation and it certainly can get things wrong, but you have to squint to not see reasoning when you ask it to guesstimate something or solve a mathematical problem. It is an LLM but there’s reasoning coming out?
Yeah I see what you mean. There’s a decent argument to be made that something like reasoning appears as an emergent property in this kind of system, I’ll admit. Still, the fact that fundamentally the code works as a prediction engine rules out any sort of real cognition, even if it makes an impressive simulacrum. There’s just no ability to invent, no true novelty, which – to my mind at least – is the hallmark of actual reasoning.
As long as he pays for it, and not the US taxpayer…
Interesting that he’s making this offer now, isn’t that it. Almost like he’s recently got access to a large sum of money.
Nah, he’ll get foreign investors to help him and be further owned by foreign governments like he did for X.
I will be shocked if he uses his own money for this. He just got a ton of backdoors into the treasury department, remember? That was just last week.
How the fuck would we know? He has access to pretty much everything and has shown absolute contempt for the other branches that can stop him. He could drain social security, and no one would be the wiser till payments stopped.
When you government is made up of limp dick cucks… you don’t know.
Welcome to 2025 America where nepo babies rule and men with any backbone get fired.
Satya won’t be happy about that.
I really hope he tanks Open AI.
But remember, all of his wealth is only potential, not realized! He ackshually can’t afford to make the world a better place!
The best and most affordable way for Elon Musk to “make the world a better place” would be to drop dead.
I mean an island with no internet connection isn’t that expensive to him
That’s a really low offer; the company easily at the very least has three times that valuation.
chump change fellas
Couldn’t even pay for twitter himself, that broke ass
Hahah he really hates Altman’s guts. Good. Love to see those two expend their energy on each other rather than on fucking all of us.
Unfortunately they can multitask
You guys both posted it within a few seconds of each other judging by my app updating the time. Impressive.
Unfortunately, they can multitask
But only one has a comma.
Coma did you say?
Unfortunately, they can multitask
There is still a finite amount of time per day. Any amount of time spent on this is less they have available for everything else.
Still slows down some of their other goals. Attention and resources aren’t infinite. The more they wear themselves thin on things that don’t matter / have less bad outcomes, the better
Unfortunately he has a gaggle of hitler youth in tow doing his bidding for him
Musk isnt very good at that. He seems to Godzilla’s his way through one project at a time, while interns clean up behind him.
Probably just the same market manipulation he tried with Twitter and succeeded with Bitcoin.
Genius mastermind shadow president plan:
- Buy company A for shit ton of money
- Ruin company A so it is worth 80% less
- Still have shit ton of money
- Repeat with company B
It’ll work this time. He just has to be even shittier about it. /s
Ruin company A so it is worth 80% less
Ruin country USA so it is worth 80% less.
Unfortunately, looks like buying Twitter was a very effective choice if you take profit off the priority list
Even if you don’t take profit off the list, it could well be that he had more financial success in these other companies because he uses twitter as promotion and propaganda platform…
I mean, yeah. That was the entire point of him buying it: to control one of the biggest social media networks ever, and to use that to push and pull the public discourse however he wanted, in the interest of being a kingmaker. And it fucking worked.
and sadly, the amount of people who use chatgpt to try and get factual information, is quite high… which makes this even more terrifying. It’s about systematically gaining control of communication and information.
There’s tons of alternatives out there now that are as good or better.
If he gets it then clearly it will be the Confederate States ChatGPT.
There’s tons of alternatives out there now that are as good or better.
Are they as popular, or the default use. How many “alternatives” are actually just piping through chatgpt.
Controlling information means getting control of the defaults, the ones people are used to using.
There’s tons of alternatives out there now that are as good or better.
Do you mean LLM’s or other means to get factual info?
It seems to me that LLM’s are not a very good way to get factual information due to limitations of the technology (models try to write as plausible text as possible, not as factually correct as possible) Yet using search engines is a pain due to how many ChatGPT-generated SEO optimized websites are there, which are written not by experts in their fields, but random copywriters. I really have no idea where to get truth about anything at this point.
I’ve had people on Reddit and Lemmy dispute my comments by citing ChatGPT… AI is a really innovative wrench that people are using as a hammer.
I also blame the AI companies for pushing that usage. It doesn’t matter how many tiny disclaimers Google and Microsoft add when they return AI answers to queries by default.
Buy a company mostly with other people’s money (he paid ~15B of the 44B offer) lose a lot, 70% or more but use it to win an election and gain 200B in profit.
Musk is a salesman and he’s good at getting investors to get behind his crap. He’s never produced actual value but that doesn’t matter to stock values apparently.
Tesla investors are starting to care, it seems.
OpenAI’s Yahoo! moment. In a decade it’ll be worthless.
It already is. They’ll bleed users until they are irrelevant at this point.
🌍🧑🚀🔫🧑🚀
I guess grok isn’t doing so well.
Why not make it an even 100 billion is what I would ask if I were uninformed, which I am, so it’s what I’m asking.
Because if you believe it’s worth $97B you don’t offer to overpay by $3B…
