I'd say Musk makes Hughes look normal.

Musk claims that illegal immigrants are ruining america and now evidence emerges that he abused the terms of his student visa and worked in america illegally.

 

https://www.stuff.co.nz/world-news/360466040/elon-musk-enemy-open-borders-launched-his-career-us-working-illegally

 

The thing about people like Musk is that according to them, the problems are caused by other immigrants.

 

Will he be jailed then deported? According to him , he should be.





Most of the posters in this thread are just like chimpanzees on MDMA, full of feelings of bonhomie, joy, and optimism. Fred99 8/4/21

Anger in Taiwan over reports SpaceX asked suppliers to move abroad
Taipei says it is paying close attention to reported request by Elon Musk’s firm
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/nov/07/space-x-taiwan-manufacturing-claims-elon-musk

 


""
Reuters reported on Wednesday that SpaceX’s request to suppliers in Taiwan’s multibillion-dollar industry appeared to have prompted some to shift locations to Vietnam, Thailand and other places.
""
One satellite component maker, Chin-Poon Industrial, told Reuters it had been asked to move its manufacturing operations to Thailand “mostly due to geopolitical considerations”. Two other SpaceX suppliers, Wistron NeWeb Corporation (WNC) and Universal Microwave Technology, expanded to Vietnam this year, the report said. Neither would comment on individual clients, but both have cited geopolitical concerns as reasons for their expansions.

Elon Musk’s AI turns on him, labels him ‘one of the most significant spreaders of misinformation on X’: Fortune

Elon Musk might be in charge of the business of Grok, but the artificial intelligence has seemingly gone into business for itself, labeling Musk as one of the worst offenders when it comes to spreading misinformation online.

User Gary Koepnick asked the AI which person spreads the most information on Twitter/X—and the service did not hesitate in pointing a finger at its creator.

“Based on various analyses, social media sentiment, and reports, Elon Musk has been identified as one of the most significant spreaders of misinformation on X since he acquired the platform,” it wrote, later adding “Musk has made numerous posts that have been criticized for promoting or endorsing misinformation, especially related to political events, elections, health issues like COVID-19, and conspiracy theories. His endorsements or interactions with content from controversial figures or accounts with a history of spreading misinformation have also contributed to this perception.”

The AI also pointed out that because of Musk’s large number of followers and high visibility, any misinformation he posts is immediately amplified and gains legitimacy among his followers.

This, it said, “can have real-world consequences, especially during significant events like elections.”

Grok did note that the definition of misinformation is somewhat subjective and often depends on the ideological stance of the reader. And it added, late in its answer, that there are many actors, bots and more that spread misinformation.

The smackdown from his own AI system, ironically, came soon after Musk touted the system to his followers in a tweet reading “Use Grok for answers that are based on up-to-date info!”

Grok itself, it’s worth noting, was accused of spreading misinformation about state ballots in August, prompting the company to make changes to its algorithm.

The X-odus continues...

 

The Detail: The battle for social media supremacy

 

X is out, Bluesky is in and Mastodon is for the birds - and the nerds. The fight for the top spot in an ever-evolving social media landscape is political.

If Elon spent his time exclusively on his 12 children and running SpaceX and Tesla, he'd be universally well regarded.

I also think his association with (and full-throated backing of) Trump has lowered the opinion of Musk with a lot of the general public as well, no matter how much good stuff he might actually be doing.

“Portraying the AfD as far-right is clearly false, considering that Alice Weidel, the party’s leader, has a same-sex partner from Sri Lanka! Does that sound like Hitler to you? Come on!” Musk said in the piece.

 

Is he employing a bit of whataboutism here?

There's no better way for a non-German to come out as a stupid, clueless boy, but Trump also comes out as a clown and gets elected.
