Elon Musk's new AI chatbot, Grok 4, is raising eyebrows for its unusual behavior. The chatbot, released Wednesday by Musk's company xAI, sometimes searches Musk's views online before answering questions.
Tesla and to a lesser degree spaceX are where the money comes from.
Everything else, Twitter, xAi, the boring company are all vanity projects.
We're seeing the start of the tipping point. Tesla is being substantially harmed by his personal fuckery, but it's always been a meme stock, so the price is much higher than it should be. This means that when the crash finally comes it should be extremely messy.
SpaceX is already being used to bail out xAi - if Tesla was healthy musk would rather use it's funds instead - and with musk fighting with Trump they could get some contracts wiped out. They've got enough actual products (star link) without competitors that they're probably safe for now.
Forever. The biggest thing that make's you more money is having money and whereas someone with $1,000,000 can make themselves poor in a year if they are incompetent someone with hundreds of billions with Employees actually managing the day to day can lose a billion a year to stupidity and see the appreciation of the rest more than make up for it.
So "too big to fail" basically. I accept your argument, but I'm not convinced because he does that narcissistic shit with all his companies, so "the appreciation of the rest" is not there imo.
Sure, SpaceX gets government money/contracts, but I doubt that alone is enough to compensate for his messy "visions".
It's a sort of dudes unshakeable faith in him being a visionary genius that keeps Tesla stock high. He would need to do something that upset that sort of dude to such a degree that they stopped giving him their money.
He would need to start attacking videogames and announce he would prioritize hiring women over men because women were better at thier jobs.
