It isn’t racist enough, so he has to take over and train it on nazi propaganda.
This kind of thing is why it’s short-sighted even for the other tech guys to cozy up to Trump. There’s no room for anyone other than Musk and he is just going to use his leverage with Trump to screw over the other billionaires as well.
Anyone cozying up to Trump is announcing they have skeletons in their closet and he has the dirt.
As long as he pays for it, and not the US taxpayer…
Nah, he’ll get foreign investors to help him and be further owned by foreign governments like he did for X.
Interesting that he’s making this offer now, isn’t it. Almost like he’s recently got access to a large sum of money.
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.
When you government is made up of limp dick cucks… you don’t know.
Welcome to 2025 America where nepo babies rule and men with any backbone get fired.
I will be shocked if he uses his own money for this. He just got a ton of backdoors into the treasury department, remember? That was just last week.
not even one-third of the valuation openai thinks they’re worth (up to 340b). and still below what investors thought in 2022 (157b). src
i think this is old spice admitting that xAI is total bullshit and he’s giving up on making his own.
Open-source just turned its value to dog shit, I’d say the offer is far above its value.
With how twitters value has gone since he bought it, I’d say he is pretty bad at this
I thought this was because he’s still pissy they cut him out, but I guess his reasons can be multifaceted
i think this is old spice admitting that xAI is total bullshit
Well, to be 100% fair, it’s all total bullshit.
I use a 16b reduction of deepseek-r1 on my pc at home and it’s definitely not total bullshit. It’s 10gb of local model that can solve mathematics and physics problems for you or program in python or bash. It doesn’t hallucinate (or I haven’t been able to elicit it), it’s aware of the extents of its knowledge. It works incredibly fast on an old ryzen 1600 with 6600xt. Having an open source reasoning AI that takes 10gb of SSD and about 13 gb of ram is so weird that the only thing weirder is seeing smart people dismiss it as bullshit out of hand.
an open source reasoning AI
It’s still an LLM right? I’m going to have to take issue with your use of the word ‘reasoning’ here

Yes, specially 600 billion of federal funding
I’d take $5M of government funding and make similar progress. Yo DOGE, call me.
Lol is that even a thing? xAI? I’ve never heard of it, and I self host AI’s, and explore them often.
It’s real. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XAI_(company)
How stupid is this conspiracy theory:
If it were a threat, like “this is what you’re gonna be worth if you don’t accept, anyway” depending on how power drunk he was feeling when hitting Tweet
Maybe below what investors or OpenAI thinks, but I think I’d take it. Unless they’ve got more secrets up their sleeve I don’t seem them ever being worth that much.
Satya won’t be happy about that.
Couldn’t even pay for twitter himself, that broke ass
Hahah he really hates Altman’s guts. Good. Love to see those two expend their energy on each other rather than on fucking all of us.
Unfortunately, they can multitask
Musk isnt very good at that. He seems to Godzilla’s his way through one project at a time, while interns clean up behind him.
There is still a finite amount of time per day. Any amount of time spent on this is less they have available for everything else.
Still slows down some of their other goals. Attention and resources aren’t infinite. The more they wear themselves thin on things that don’t matter / have less bad outcomes, the better
Unfortunately he has a gaggle of hitler youth in tow doing his bidding for him
Unfortunately they can multitask
You guys both posted it within a few seconds of each other judging by my app updating the time. Impressive.
But only one has a comma.
Coma did you say?
Unfortunately, they can multitask
But remember, all of his wealth is only potential, not realized! He ackshually can’t afford to make the world a better place!
I mean an island with no internet connection isn’t that expensive to him
The best and most affordable way for Elon Musk to “make the world a better place” would be to drop dead.
That’s a really low offer; the company easily at the very least has three times that valuation.
What is this? An OpenAI for ants?
I guess grok isn’t doing so well.
Probably just the same market manipulation he tried with Twitter and succeeded with Bitcoin.
chump change fellas
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.
Because if you believe it’s worth $97B you don’t offer to overpay by $3B…
Genius mastermind shadow president plan:
- Buy company A for shit ton of money
- Ruin company A so it is worth 80% less
- Still have shit ton of money
- Repeat with company B
Ruin company A so it is worth 80% less
Ruin country USA so it is worth 80% less.
Unfortunately, looks like buying Twitter was a very effective choice if you take profit off the priority list
Even if you don’t take profit off the list, it could well be that he had more financial success in these other companies because he uses twitter as promotion and propaganda platform…
I mean, yeah. That was the entire point of him buying it: to control one of the biggest social media networks ever, and to use that to push and pull the public discourse however he wanted, in the interest of being a kingmaker. And it fucking worked.
and sadly, the amount of people who use chatgpt to try and get factual information, is quite high… which makes this even more terrifying. It’s about systematically gaining control of communication and information.
There’s tons of alternatives out there now that are as good or better.
If he gets it then clearly it will be the Confederate States ChatGPT.
There’s tons of alternatives out there now that are as good or better.
Are they as popular, or the default use. How many “alternatives” are actually just piping through chatgpt.
Controlling information means getting control of the defaults, the ones people are used to using.
It’ll work this time. He just has to be even shittier about it. /s
Buy a company mostly with other people’s money (he paid ~15B of the 44B offer) lose a lot, 70% or more but use it to win an election and gain 200B in profit.
Musk is a salesman and he’s good at getting investors to get behind his crap. He’s never produced actual value but that doesn’t matter to stock values apparently.

His net worth is NOT how much money he is net positive. All his net worth means, is he has hundreds of billions of assets, it says nothing for the debt load he is holding onto, nor how much of his assets are already leveraged. With how throughly he has obliterated xitters ad income when it was being sold because investors were unhappy with ad income already being too low, it looks like ol Elon might have found a sure fire way to turn a billion into a million, and somehow people keep loaning him money… Have they checked who else has their financial interests vested in assets he “owns” or when you have that much stuff do they just assume no one else is using it for collateral… Just be interesting if suddenly his entire fortune went up with a puff of smoke because the debt load was too high and one of his investments went further sour causing a cascade similar to a short squeeze, just encapsulated entirely on elon musk and his assets being liquidated…
At least part of the money he’s invested in things like Twitter etc he borrowed from other companies he owns that are overvalued (Tesla).
