Summary
Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok has determined there is a “75-85% likelihood” that Trump is a “Putin-compromised” Russian asset.
When asked to assess this possibility, Grok cited Trump’s financial ties to Russia, statements from his sons about Russian funding, leaked Kremlin documents, and Trump’s consistent refusal to criticize Putin while attacking allies.
Musk has described Grok as “maximally truth-seeking,” raising questions about how seriously such AI assessments of political figures should be taken, especially given Musk’s close relationship with Trump and his involvement in the current administration.
Totally off topic but anyone else pissed he named it Grok? Musk is like the turd version of King Midas. Stop touching our stuff!
It’s hardly surprising. He’s always wanted to be Tony Stark, e.g. simultaneously a nerd and one of the cool kids. Unfortunately for Musk, Stark could pull that off because A) He’s neither real nor a realistic character and B) was a bona fide world-class genius. Musk - who’s so far from being a genius that you need the JWST to resolve ‘smart’ from his location in intellectual phase space - characteristically just managed to concurrently fail at both.
This, and Peter Thiel naming his terrible companies after Lord of the Rings lore.
That shit pisses me off more than anything. Tolkien is rolling in his grave. He would be absolutely livid that these assholes co-opted his writings.
I honestly forgot it was called palantir, I just call it PLTR and that helps.
I’m just a simple country hyper-chicken but… That makes it sound like you are investing in that evil. Please say you are shorting that shit.
It’s just the only reason I ever want to talk about it is in terms of business and how it’s worming into government worldwide
Why would you short the MIC? You’re literally just paying capitalists for free if you do that. You want to hurt them, you [redacted for promoting illegal actions]
But he named it after the evil stuff in LOTR.
At least he has some self awareness
It would be more upsetting if just everything was not so enshitified. I mean I can’t believe how much smartphones are a dream device to me except for how they are implemented.
At least he didn’t name it “Tricorder” - after Star Wars!
Every. Time. I. Read. It.
Yes, I find it annoying. Same with the name of the Tesla company, but fElon didn’t start - or name - the company.
But now Nikola Tesla will be associated with Nazism, which sucks.
Elon naming his shitty company after Nikola Tesla doesn’t associate Nikola Tesla with Nazism, FYI.
EDIT: Also, I feel the need to correct myself to help break the dumbass revisionism that Elon has pushed that he founded Tesla. He had nothing to do with its founding. He bought his way in like he does with everything else.
He didn’t name it. But unfortunately, it very well might. Much like the Nazis appropriating the swastika. The swastika predated the Nazis by centuries, but what do people think about when they see that symbol now?
Idk, imo anyone who associates a man who died half a century before a shitty company co-opted his name is an idiot. Don’t ruin Nikola Tesla’s legacy with Elon’s dumbassery.
Yeah, I’ve found myself wanting to use the word in comments here as it was the best fit, but deciding against it because musk
I’ve used it at work (tech job) and found it useful when people fully understands it’s meaning. When they grok groking something.
