We should not be surprised that Grok spouts pro-Nazi 💩 given that Grok is trained on Xitter posts. Musk has turned X into a Nazi cesspit and Grok tries to please the users.
 
Musk is trying to get value out of TSLA stock before it's too late

"Elon Musk is not just the CEO of Tesla, the electric car company that you may have heard about from time to time in Electrek’s coverage, but several other companies as well. And, famously, Musk companies often share resources – there has been much talk of incorporating SpaceX technology into Tesla vehicles, and putting xAI/Twitter’s “MechaHitler”…. er, I mean, “Grok”…. feature into Tesla cars, among other collaborations that have happened over his various companies’ histories.

In fact, another “collaboration” was made public just yesterday, as SpaceX said it would invest $2 billion into xAI. SpaceX is another private company run by Musk.

And today, Musk made it official that he will seek greater collaboration between three of his companies: Tesla, xAI, and Twitter, in the form of an investment into xAI by Tesla."


Musk will ask Tesla shareholders to vote on bailout for Twitter/xAI

Tesla shareholders will vote on whether to invest into xAI, Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s private company, according to a post...

And in other Musk news, Tesla Robotaxi has published the expanded service coverage map for Austin TX

Apparently, this is a real thing. So is Ketamine.

Surprised Trump allowed this with Musk fully going to a third party. Either Musk got played a 2nd (or 3rd) time, or Trump has too many idiots in the White House (and Pentagon leadership).

Or both.

Elon needs to go to rehab asap. He might not live too much longer, though I’m sure not many would be sad.

I think he needs to do more drugs and go back to where his real skills obviously lie, as a professional e-sports player.

A contract like that for Defence doesn't spin up on a dime, even with Musk strong-arming it. He probably got it under way while he was still working for the government, and then it's been progressing quietly through the paperwork under Trump's nose until now when it got released.

If Trump was even told, it was probably weeks or months ago and I doubt the dude can remember the start of his own sentences.
 
Musk successfully (albeit briefly) pumped the TSLA stock with his Robotaxi stunt in Austin. Unfortunately, it drew attention to the lack of safety of the technology, such as driving on the wrong side of the road, dropping off passengers in the middle of an intersection and attempting to drive through boom gates into an oncoming train.

Musk's insistence on reliance on vision-only, combined with a choice of cameras which have limited light sensitivity and lack binocular vision is coming back to bite Tesla badly.

Did Tesla’s Robotaxi Launch Backfire? — WIRED

Survey data shared exclusively with WIRED suggests that Tesla’s newest autonomous driving technology has freaked out some consumers.

I have used Tesla's so-called "Full" Self Driving for many thousands of miles as a driver assist on their latest hardware, and it's pretty good, but for me, not worth $100 a month.

That said, if a family member drove as unreliably as it does, I'd take their keys away immediately.
 
Well if you wouldn't buy a car from Elon, would you buy a burger?

Struggling to sell EVs, Tesla pivots to slinging burgers

video: The diner is now open in West Hollywood, and Musk wants to start a chain

I wouldn't, the menu looks like it wouldn't even beat out the average pub grub fare and I don't care to drive to West Hollywood to find out. But hey, at least you get another bloatware app installed on your car because I guess printed menus aren't S3XY enough.
 
Cool looking restaurant, but prices seem pretty unappealing for what you get. I don't know, maybe this costing $25 including fees is in line for West Hollywood, but this looks like the same stuff I could get at a Steak N Shake for a lot less.

I mean, if all of this food was kosher that COULD be a good deal, but that's an isolated example.
 
Can't help thinking the roasted turkey in the Diner Club sandwich is a tribute to their cars' tendency to experience thermal runaway if something impacts with the battery too hard or apparently for a variety of other reasons.
