Actor Ed Norton described Elon Musk as one of the tech world's "geniuses who have revealed themselves to be idiots and frauds"
Musk is a Fascist malignant narcissistic sociopath who pathologically lies and believes anything he says on any topic has value. Absolutely NOTHING to admire. All he has is a group of right wing fascist incel fan boys, tweeting him from their Mommy's basement.
Musk: The only one on one meeting I ever had with Obama as President I used not to promote Tesla or SpaceX, but to encourage AI regulation.

‘You’re freaking me out’: Creepy Elon Musk warning no one listened to
An old interview with Elon Musk has resurfaced, revealing a major “potential of civilisational destruction” has been ignored for years…
Twitter advertising traffic and usage have continued to decline year over year according to data from Similarweb, disputing Twitter chief executive Elon Musk’s claims of “record high” user engagement and that advertisers are returning.
Traffic to Twitter’s ads portal in March declined 18.7 percent year over year and worldwide visits to the site dropped 7.3 percent, according to Similarweb’s estimates.
Unique visitors also declined 3.3 percent for the month, and time on the Twitter site remained steady at 10.6 minutes.
This thread really hits different now that we all know Musk is a moron and his entire identity as a super genius was fabricated by the press

Truth-seeking’ AI may be the ‘best path’ to safety: Elon Musk
Elon Musk says he’ll create ‘TruthGPT’ to counter AI ‘bias’
San Francisco | Billionaire Twitter owner Elon Musk is again sounding warning bells on the dangers of artificial intelligence to humanity – and claiming that a popular chatbot has a liberal bias that he plans to counter with his own AI creation.
Mr Musk told conservative Fox News host Tucker Carlson in a segment aired on Monday night (Tuesday AEST) that he planned to create an alternative to the popular AI chatbot ChatGPT that he is calling “TruthGPT”, which will be a “maximum truth-seeking AI that tries to understand the nature of the universe”.

The idea, Mr Musk said, was that an AI that wanted to understand humanity was less likely to destroy it. He also said he was worried that ChatGPT “is being trained to be politically correct”.
In the first of a two-part interview with Carlson, Mr Musk also advocated for the regulation of artificial intelligence, saying he was a “big fan”. He called AI “more dangerous” than cars or rockets and said it had the potential to destroy humanity.
Separately, Mr Musk has incorporated a new business called X.AI Corp, according to a Nevada business filing. The website of the Nevada Secretary of State’s office says the business was formed on March 9 and lists Mr Musk as its director and his longtime adviser, Jared Birchall, as secretary.
Mr Musk has for many years expressed strong opinions about artificial intelligence and has dismissed other tech leaders, including Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates, for having what he has described as a “limited” understanding of the field.
Mr Musk was an early investor in OpenAI – the startup behind ChatGPT – and co-chaired its board upon its 2015 founding as a non-profit AI research lab. But he lasted there for only a few years, resigning from the board in early 2018 in a move that the San Francisco start-up tied to Tesla’s work on building automated driving systems.
“As Tesla continues to become more focused on AI, this will eliminate a potential future conflict for Elon,” OpenAI said in a February 2018 blog post.
“I came up with the name and the concept,” Mr Musk told Carlson, lamenting that OpenAI was now closely allied with Microsoft and was no longer a non-profit entity.
Mr Musk elaborated on his departure in 2019, saying it was also related to his need to focus on engineering problems at Tesla and some differences of opinion with OpenAI’s leaders. It was “just better to part ways on good terms,” he said.
“Tesla was competing for some of same people as OpenAI & I didn’t agree with some of what OpenAI team wanted to do,” Mr Musk tweeted, without specifying.
But there have been questions surrounding the quality of Tesla’s AI systems. Last month, US safety regulators announced an investigation into a fatal crash involving a Tesla suspected of using an automated driving system when it ran into a parked firetruck in California.
The firetruck investigation is part of a larger one by the agency into multiple instances of Teslas using the automaker’s Autopilot system crashing into parked emergency vehicles that are tending to other crashes.
Safety problems
Transport regulators have become more aggressive in pursuing safety problems with Teslas in the past year, announcing multiple recalls and investigations.
In the year after Mr Musk resigned from the board, OpenAI was still far away from working on ChatGPT but publicly unveiled the first generation of its GPT system, on which ChatGPT is founded, and began a major shift to incorporate itself as a for-profit business.
By 2020 , Mr Musk was tweeting that “OpenAI should be more open” while noting that he had “no control & only very limited insight” into it.
At time, he has been complimentary. In the days after the November 30 release of ChatGPT, Mr Musk tweeted to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman that it was “scary good” and complained that the media were not widely covering it because “ChatGPT is not a far-left cause”
Since then, Mr Musk has repeatedly highlighted examples that he says show left-wing bias or censorship. Like other chatbots, ChatGPT has filters that try to prevent it from spewing out toxic or offensive answers.
