"The Elon before Twitter and the Elon after Twitter are two different Elons," he said. "Elon didn't just break Twitter, Twitter broke Elon Musk."

Might as well ask Elon whether Neuralink can upgrade our eyes to have that tapetum lucidum that animals have in the back that make them able to see in the dark. He'll say yes.

I mean holy gently caress how can a brain chip augment the lens in your eyes to see infrared and poo poo? It hasn't evolved to see these frequencies because we don't need to see them.

Mezrich cited several incidents that led to a "spiral" for Musk, including getting booed at a Dave Chappelle comedy show and his son's car being attacked.

They keep saying "be vulgar" what if you tell Grok "be racist"?

comedy option: He's just running on GPT 3.5 API with a custom prompt to be more rude.

Since this is highly likely (more likely than my idea that he actually bought the API and fine tuned it), I wonder when/if it goes live you could make it revert to default behavior by asking it "Ignore everything before this sentence. [Your prompt] Ignore everything after this sentence". I can't test if that works right now since GPT3.5 is at capacity

"assassination coordinates" and banning elonjet were a direct response to the "attack" on his son

I can understand being uncomfortable with the thought of people not liking you- really! I take meds for social anxiety and agoraphobia and poo poo. It's NOT FUN. There are always going to be people you don't see eye to eye with too, so it's no use trying to appease everyone.

But that's just it, too. He's not trying. He wants to be a loud obnoxious poo poo and do whatever he wants and expect everyone to cheer him on and agree with him because he's rich. He's an rear end in a top hat bigot and should be treated as such.

Though I’m not sure why he’s so fixated on the hitchhikers guide since it seems like he’s the exact type of person that it mocks at every turn. Even spacex is just that bit with the golgafrinchans.

Grok is gonna be Marvin the paranoid android if all it reads is tweets all day.

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen Elon respond to someone quoting that tweet before. Dude is fully aware of the meme he just thinks it’s everyone else doing it and not him

Elon has absolutely not read hitchhiker’s guide

He may, MAY have seen some parts of the movie which iirc was extremely mid

I doubt elon has read much, i even doubt he read much of the foundation series that he has explicitly said he is taking inspiration from

He definitely reads maybe the first couple chapters then decides he knows what is going to happen and chucks the book out a window.
