It isn’t racist enough, so he has to take over and train it on nazi propaganda.

I guess grok isn’t doing so well.

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

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.

As long as he pays for it, and not the US taxpayer....

[–] snekerpimp 28 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

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.

Interesting that he's making this offer now, isn't it. Almost like he's recently got access to a large sum of money.

[–] FlexibleToast 9 points 18 hours ago

Nah, he'll get foreign investors to help him and be further owned by foreign governments like he did for X.

Couldn't even pay for twitter himself, that broke ass

[–] [email protected] 11 points 17 hours ago

I really hope he tanks Open AI.

[–] danc4498 12 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] danc4498 6 points 17 hours ago

I’m referring to his complaints about open ai moving towards a for profit business model. Musk wants to stop this.

[–] finitebanjo 7 points 18 hours ago

Probably just the same market manipulation he tried with Twitter and succeeded with Bitcoin.

[–] jordanlund 3 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (2 children)

I thought he only barely pulled off the Twitter deal at $40B, now he's going 2x+ that much?

Saudis were happy to bankroll it to kill the main organisation platform behind the Arab Spring uprisings

Gotta ride that debt wave - what else is there to do in life? ("Helping people" is somehow not an option, nor is simply leaving well enough alone, we apparently "need" to have his face and name and one arm raised in nearly every conversation taking place on planet earth)

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.

[–] essteeyou 3 points 14 hours ago

Because if you believe it's worth $97B you don't offer to overpay by $3B...

[–] Fake4000 6 points 18 hours ago

Satya won't be happy about that.
