What is this

joocifer.bsky.social•15 days ago

This right here.

Get Trump to agree to throw $100 billion at your datacenter-build alliance simply by publicly giving him credit for your idea

This is something Musk probably would have trouble doing, because he's a pumpkin-headed ego baby who's cosplaying a genius

Well played Sam, I guess

@nytimes.com this is absurd. You should be reporting about the massive corruption!!!

How many things do you expect Musk to do?

‪Putler is a big murdering warcriminal and belongs in jail.‬
‪but Musk ( and Trump) are the most real danger to mankind at this time.‬

‪Beware for this psychopathic autocratic leaders.‬

‪Do never cooperate with these kind of criminals. Never.‬

sheepflame.bsky.social•15 days ago

You dummies. This is part of Elon’s plan to take-over ChatGPT. Have Trump make it notionally essential to national interest, then investigate it and make a controversy of something, get Trump to order its sale to Grok.

After helping the fascist criminal rapist traitor get elected, we at the Times will continue to promote the dear leader and hope he is nice to us.

acpickett.bsky.social•15 days ago

That’s was deliberate
Trump fucks all his people over.
Musk isn’t special.
Trump will do it again too. He thrives on abusing his entourage of losers.

He realized that AI was still in the "room full of vacuum tubes" stage. Building big now will just get you a white elephant.

They're building a surveillance system that would rival the NSA with zero debate in Congress

Huh. Wonder why Altman got $40 billion of Saudi $ (through SoftBank of course) and Musk got nada. Hmmm.

You know I really don’t care about their battles. I am more worried about the forthcoming inflation, the education of my kids, my health, my freedom as a woman, my freedom to be who I want, my data privacy, this is what I care about not their battles of $$$

tallboy66.bsky.social•15 days ago

Judges blocking his moves a mole leaking what he's doing and Trump saying fuck him I got what I wanted.

You sure? I mean, it's not Altman with his fingers in all the nation's data right now.

bionichag.bsky.social•15 days ago

Musk is far more intelligent than Felon47.
Whatever he has planned means more to him than what he has lost.
And it's a global plan.

99montez34.bsky.social•14 days ago

Don't you mean Trump is far less intelligent than Musk?

yeah i guess musk just gets to run the entire federal government, small potato stuff

nichtmalo.bsky.social•15 days ago

Well hopefully we won't get misinformation and memes as results for AI now. Nonetheless, we have yet another battle. At least it's one less, but a fight in the end.

There is everything wrong with this piece especially the cloying worship of these billionaire snake oil salesmen touting this iffy nonsense.

0-dererumnatura.bsky.social•15 days ago

That’s a false dichotomy as oligarchy is communism for the rich.

maryamcooley.bsky.social•15 days ago

Interesting. So much for loyalty to Musk!

davidmauvigne.bsky.social•15 days ago

It's great to see from the beginning of the new political system, the cracks that are being created because of the differences between the oligarchs. Trump did a good job feeding Musk’s ego, however he will not be able to feed his appetite for being seen as innovator at anything.

notdontrmp.bsky.social•15 days ago

Musk got played—BIGLY. Spent years cozying up to Trump, only to get sidelined by Sam “ChatGPT” Altman. Turns out even Trump thinks Musk is a liability. SAD!

illogicallylogic.bsky.social•15 days ago

God are yall actually this sad and pathetic. Your hatred that stems from tons of misinformation is what's killing and dividing the country. Are you all not seeing all this corrupt government spending Trumps admin has brought to light? Look at actual news and not the hit pieces you actively look for

jitran.bsky.social•15 days ago

It's very funny that you won't acknowledge the fact that all government spending is transparently available for the public to view. You act like it's a big secret but you could have seen what spending goes where for the last ten years. This fact is inconvenient for your rhetorical goals. Shameful.

illogicallylogic.bsky.social•10 days ago

that has been happening, especially thru the "aid" for Ukraine. Zelenski said the other day that out of the over $140 billion aid package only received a third of it. What's shameful is that u are defending how the government has been fucking us for years all bc of ur emotional issues with Trump smh

illogicallylogic.bsky.social•10 days ago

They have that government site so it gives the false sense of actual transparency. Funding these utterly ridiculous things with absolutely nothing to gain so they can funnel it to themselves. Just look at all these politicians who are somehow worth millions now. Not to mention the money laundering

illogicallylogic.bsky.social•10 days ago

I'll give you credit for how well constructed and properly typed your reply was. But you lack understanding of the real issue. Its the misuse of all this money and what it has gone to. Whether it's public records or not, how and what this money was being used for is the problem period.

jitran.bsky.social•15 days ago

I read conservative and progressive news. There is zero evidence in conservative news that there is "all this corrupt government spending" only CLAIMS of corrupt spending. No evidence. I'm not surprised you MAGA cultists can't tell the difference between a CLAIM and actual evidence.

notdontrmp.bsky.social•15 days ago

Oh no, not corrupt government spending! Better get Musk—who built his empire on government contracts and subsidies—to save us! MAGA really thinks a guy who burned $44B on Twitter, got outmaneuvered by Sam Altman, and begged for a government bailout is gonna “expose corruption.” Clown behavior.

So Trump used him for his money now he is using him as his tool. Once he does the damage and public turns on Musk, Trump will drop him like a bad habit

hermosawarrior.bsky.social•15 days ago

Good. I never saw a path where the end of the world was due to AI going rogue & turning Skynet. It would be on the orders of humans. I can see Elon using bionic AI implants to "enhance" humans connected like network (a hivemind) controlled by him. Even private thoughts would be under surveillance.
