    Lots has been said about Musk owning Twitter.

    In reality I think it's Twitter that owns him, make something viral on Twitter and this guy will feel the need to inject himself into that topic or regurgitate his opinion on whatever it is that is trending.

    Rule #1 that any smart dealer knows is to never get hooked on the stuff that you are selling.

    Why are they pretending Musk is running the company? Why is whoever will actually be running the company okay with that?

    > the formation of what he’s calling xAI, whose goal is to “understand the true nature of the universe.”

    Sounds ( a bit ) like the plot of Devs: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt8134186/

    Let's hope this is being run by the SpaceX Musk and not the Twitter Musk.

    Hopefully Dan Hendrycks advises them to pack their bags and go home before they fuck everything up.
