    The all-stock deal announced on Friday consolidates two of Musk's multiple portfolio companies, which also include automaker Tesla and SpaceX, and potentially eases the billionaire's ability to train his AI model known as Grok.

    no. He was against AI while he was getting his company up and running.

    So let me get this straight. You're saying the guy was against AI while he was getting his AI company up and running.

    Either you're sniffing some potent shit or you think I'm as stupid as someone you see in the mirror. Anyway, feel free to clarify.

    BTW I did say Musk was a hypocrite. Keep that in mind before replying.

    He also bought his brother's failing retail solar panel business I think back in 2017 I believe.

    He never said he's against AI; he co-founded OpenAI which he wanted to be a non profit. When he realized it was on its way to be privatized with a large MS investment, he created xAI to compete with them. Nothing hypocrite about any of that, businesses doing business things.

    From your previous posts, I know how much you admire Musk, but I really think you should take off your blinders and see Musk for who he really is. You really think Musk cozied up to Trump (through his who-knows-how-large political contributions) just because he believed in Trump or merely out of kindness? If you do, I say wake the fuck up. That man is, or rather his ambition is, dangerous. You'll find out soon enough.

    Funny you say that, I was just thinking that about you. You jump in calling him a hypocrite for something you're just wrong about, simply because you can't stand him. I just corrected you.
    If you'd read my posts you'd know I'm no fan of Elon Musk and have called for his removal as Tesla CEO for all the damages he's done to the brand.

    you did say musk was a hypocrite. He is.

    While he claimed he was against AI, he was never actually. He wanted a moratorium on research so that “humanity could understand its ramifications” while he was secretly setting up Xai.

    OpenAI created an amazing product and he wanted them stop while he tried to leapfrog them.

    His attempt at purchasing OpenAI was an attempt at slowing down their conversion to a for profit so they could raise capital more easily.

    The guy is a complete douche.
