Musk is like a science experiment to see how cripplingly stupid you can make a nepo baby without them losing all their generational wealth, except it went in a fascinating new direction instead.

Macrohard..the kind of joke that 11 year olds made on AOL in 1994
This guy tries so hard to be cool.
Macrohard, another very funny joke from Elon's brilliant mind.
oh man i'm so glad this musk slop ended up on my feed without any real critical comment or insight, just some shitty link and misleading headline
thanks OP
Jesus.... it's like watching these people cause a train wreck in slow motion, and we're on the train.
That's what the Cybertrucks were for all along
It's like finding out that the captain of the airplane you're on just let a retarded 5-year old steer the plane and the psychotic, suicidal co-pilot just murdered the captain and has now locked the cockpit. Now we're in a race to try and break into the cockpit before the psycho and the retard crash the plane.
At least its good to know that these fucktard billionaires can make tons of terrible business decisions over and over again, but have so much money that every once in a while their business decisions still make them gigantic, irrational, sums of money.
Good luck to Musk then. Was listening to a cybersec podcast on my morning dog walk and one of the stories was about the amount of security flaws that can be created with AI coding machines. Unless you're aware of the language, exploits, weaknesses etc. etc.
What a dumbass. Every time he opens his smarmy gob these days he makes himself seem dumber every time.
It's the drugs, the sycophants, and the power.
He's completely lost touch and has gone full megalomaniac.
"Oh, yes, chief, creating a giant bowl of cheese is so original, you're a genius", a sycophant.
"God. I'm a god", Musk.
"Yes, chief, you're a god", a sycophant.
"I'm so amazing that people think I'm a god", musk.
I think there's a touch of cognitive decline happening, too. Or like a serious brain injury.
This is dumb on a different level
Dude claims he can code. I want to see him personally make Doom run on a Tesla.
I made that joke when I was 13 years old...
what makes you think fElon isn't 13 years old too?
Microsoft is a very low bar tbh
Will they be self playing, crash and burn a lot too, maybe nice angular jutting out corners, made from stainless steel, be called the CyberStation 👍
First thought: Well, usually i'd laugh, but it's microsoft, so this might actulally work
second thought: wait, Twitter also doesn't produce any hardware... why not start there?
I can take this one: Because he doesn’t actually care about creating anything of value. If he truly believed in it, you’re right, Twitter or even Tesla’s software engineers would be on the chopping block and he’d replace them with AI as soon as he can. But he doesn’t.
He knows this is a longshot. Most likely to fail, but very profitable on the near-impossible chance that it works. But he doesn’t care even if the odds are truly impossible. Because this is an investment opportunity, so people will throw money his way, no matter what the odds.
People assume he’s an idiot, and he is. But he’s not stupid, at least not in every way. He certainly has a skill for separating others from their money, which he happily takes advantage of.
Wait until Musk comes forward with the Macrohard GamerX series of consoles, to play AI slop games.
And the circuitry and QA is also done by AI.
Software, as far as I can tell, solves no real problems anymore and can be as baroque, rococo, and absurd as you want because the hardware is massively powerful and cheap.
I’m so tired of this idiot ass fucking dystopia.
I agree. Why can't we have a dystopia where we have neon gangs with wicked aesthetics that are armed with fully automatic firearms purchased from a vending machine outside a liquor store.
Honestly I've been hanging out with some Cajuns and it sounds like Louisiana is a few laws and aesthetic choices away from that
Batman Beyond really gave me unreasonable expectations.
For the love of god, just OD on ketamine already.

Unfortunately dying from ketamine overdose is extremely rare.
He is already 95% cuntamine.

“In principle, given that software companies like Microsoft do not themselves manufacture any physical hardware, it should be possible to simulate them entirely with AI,” he added.
Ummm, is someone going to tell him about the Xbox, Surface devices, and the entire Azure infrastructure they built.
Musk just announces this shit to look like he's doing something so the investors don't flee. If anything is actually delivered it will be forgettable and he will have moved on to the next thing he can hype.
It's that or he's trying to get Microsoft to give Grok a more prominent role on their platform and this is how he thinks he can active that.
How the stack of cards hasn't fallen down yet is head scratching and I'd love to know what business is actually using Grok for something serious.
