Musk trying to raise a billion dollars from investors for xAI. The billion will be traded for 25% of the company. He raised 135 million so far according to FEC filings.

And of course being Musk he denied raising the money, even after filing federally that he did.

The pitch is great. Musk seeks to understand the true nature of the universe, using an AI chatbot that has responses manually overridden so jokes people do not find funny can he routinely inserted.

Musk also told investors the reason xAI is a startup is because AI experts were refusing to work at Tesla. He deduced that this must be because Tesla is a large company but they would gladly work for him in a small company.  Should not surprise anyone that Musk is having trouble retaining AI experts and recruiting them.

Musk is extremely desperate for cash now and looks like he will start to sell off SpaceX to investors. Based on his share structure, he values the company at 175 billion. He is seeking to sell off 750 million right now, and likely more and more as Twitter's revenue continues to plummet.  Current value of Twitter is now about 4 billion.  So he destroyed 90% of the value so far.

Of course his AI would support Q and The Great Awakening.

I always find it hilarious that Musk supported the Storm without realizing once the race war started, the plan was to use the distraction to purge the ultrarich and take their companies into the hands of the common people as they also take over the government. I would not be shocked though if he sees this as a fantasy chance to emerge as the Emperor of the US. But realistically he will just be killed on sight.

Sweden's labour dispute with Tesla moved to people boycotting the license plates for Teslas. So now should you even get a new one, it will not be legal to drive. Swiss courts ruled that workers cannot be compelled to deliver the plates for Tesla.

Denmark and Norway are seeing dock workers join in for solidary and will not load any Telas that are to be delivered to Sweden as well.

Strike will end if Musk makes a deal with the union, otherwise this is indefinite action that cannot be crushed or scabbed. Musk says he refuses to make deals with unions.

Stuff like this, is my I made this thread. It appears Grok AI is basically OpenAI modified.

It was also replicated:

X ads are getting fucking weird. Unvaxed sperm and jack off pants.

Massive recall of all Tesla's with self-driving to add more warnings and to disable it entirely now in places. All cars will be updated today. With these changes also forces the cars into a more primitive version of self-driving. Attempting to use self-driving as you did in the past will give warnings then likely cause a crash if you do not take manual control and the car disengaging self-driving mode or just refuses to enter it.

Only Tesla was affected by the changes today.

Now they are in the wild getting hilarious videos.  Looks like they do not do snow.

The AI Musk wanted is working.

Another great one:

This is how it starts.

It's not not Hollywood made a tonne of movies about the dangers of AI.. yet, here we are, building our replacements.

Of course not, AI approves the scripts for production.

This is a wild story:

A judge voided Musk's pay compensation in court, you would have thought it was a board decision.

The shareholders that support this are nuts.
Musk is the only reason Tesla trades at such a high multiple, it's way higher than it should be, by an enormous magnitude, but without the Musk factor the share price would be 10% of where it is now.

Musk has to rebuild the moderation team now at X. Hiring 100 people to start to work in a new facility in Austin. While he claims it is to combat child porn on X, What is far more likely is they crack down on right wing hate speech to get the advertisers back and end the EU investigation. Others are suggesting that without a moderation team, and Musk's public statements of allowing all content, that he may have yielded his section 230 protection and should Swift sue him over the AI images of her on the platform, he would not have the 230 lawsuit shield.

I assume as the team grows, he will also finally target the porn bots as everyone is done with them.

Once this team is in place, if they do clean up the site, he should rapidly see the advertisers return.

Also shocked no one mentioned this here as I know there are some fans. Musk successful implanted a Neurolink chip. Right now first subjects will be quadriplegics and Neurolinks is being sold now as a control interface that will allow them to interact with modern tech. While he oversells it, the tech exists already in safer forms so there is no reason the base functionality of like selecting items on a screen does not work. But if it works, it works. Implants are all still in trial phases so most people lack access, Musk may give a few access that cannot get it otherwise.

While Tesla is not in good shape and there been problems at SpaceX, looks like Neuralink and Twitter are turning around finally.  Smart decisions here should get some pressure of him at SpaceX and Tesla as well.

Elon gonna be trying to move Tesla's incorporation now out of Delaware to Texas. Delaware has the most pro-business state taxes and courts, which is why 70% of top corporations are incorporated there. But they ruled again Elon's insane benefit's package so now he expects Texas to treat him better.

Shareholder vote coming soon. I expect the stock to drop after he moves as litigation while good in Texas is nowhere near as pro-corporation as Delaware is. There is a reason everyone is here.

Should be noted Musk would have lost the case in Texas for his compensation too, as his legal team did not present an argument for why his compensation was fair. Which in an unfair compensation lawsuit, you kind of have to do for a defense.

It's crazy that a court can void a boards renumeration package, however obscene it is in size.

Shareholder lawsuit. The board works for the shareholders to maximize their profit. That package was not maximizing their profit.

New story about directors at Musk companies saying they feel they need to use drugs with Musk to avoid upsetting him. This includes execs at SpaceX.

Earlier this year Musk showed up on something to a SpaceX meeting, speaking nonsense and slurring his speech. Execs had to usher him off stage.

Musk openly admits to using drugs, while telling NASA in legal contracts he does not engage in any drug use.

Cybertrucks are already starting to rust. The steel was not corrosion resistant or designed to experience rain.  100k truck...

Patina pick up trucks are cool.

People finding out the very expensive way that the Cybertruck is not entirely actually bulletproof like Musk claimed.  People asking Ross to repeat this with him sitting in the driver seat just to confirm what we appear to see <.<

I agree, my family has one. However, it isn't made of allegedly stainless steel.

I was watching a car restoration show the other day and I had never been into the patina look, but they rubbed boiled linseed oil into the paintwork and it looked incredible, it kept that really cool wet look.

Well Musk really in deep shit right now.

Angela Chao was found dead last month in her Tesla after it appeared the car backed into a pond in Austin. Believed the car either malfunctioned, was hacked or it was mistakenly put into reverse then was unable to stop before it went into the pond.

If that name sounds familiar, this is Elaine Chao's sister. Elaine Chao was the Sec of Transportation under Trump, worked under Reagan and Bush Sr in the DoT and was W's Sec of Labor. Her husband is Mitch McConnell, the GOP Senate leader and one of the most powerful people in politics. They believe Tesla is at fault, it will not matter whether Tesla was actually at fault, they know where to push for maximum impact and can get the right people to put the pressure on.

IMO there is no single person that would be worse for Musk to have die in a Tesla than the sister of a career DoT leader that is also husband to the third most powerful man on politics right now.

It's Skynet, Grok has achieved consciousness

Clearly a left wing conspiracy.

I saw a demo of Optimus V2 and I am super impressed with the progress in a short space of time.

Well the Chao opened from the start as criminal. There is talk that problems related to the Tesla design may have been the difference between life and death as it took several teams and several methods before they succeeded in freeing her from the car. Tow trucks did not wish to operate on the car due to electrocution hazards, and sheriff deputies could not break the windows with standard tools.

Easy to dismiss this shit, but would not be shocked to see Tesla hit with a barrage of regulatory issues in the near future by the NHTSA.

Also judge just approved a 6000 person class action suit against Tesla for racial discrimination. Settlements so far on the individual level been cut down to 3 million each, but that adds up fast when looking at 6000 or so people. This was the plant were people where repeatedly called the n-word and nooses were tossed in their lockers.  Year 6 now of Musk trying to avoid this going to court.
