It isn’t racist enough, so he has to take over and train it on nazi propaganda.
Where is the “hide Musk/DOGE/Trump related posts” button ?
EDIT : Found it ! (Damn, Lemmy is awesome 😊)
Bro, I think you just wiped out your entire front page.
They’re also hiding their head in the sand, which might be a bigger issue.
I’m still reading the old school press and listening to the radio. I’m just not on lemmy to read about it AGAIN… On top of that, it’s mostly absurd and inaplicable announcements. They crave attention so much, it’s painful to listen. Look at Musk’s video gaming scheme. Just pathetic…
Ok, that’s fair. It is very hard to tell these days who is paying attention but overwhelmed and who is saying “this is all bad news, so I’m going to ignore it because I don’t like hearing about bad things.” The latter is the dangerous attitude. I’m glad it isn’t yours, but unfortunately Lemmy is not free of it.
Elon’s $97.4B hostile takeover bid for OpenAI is less about “safety” and more about a billionaire’s corporate tantrum. The offer reeks of desperation—a laughable lowball for a company valued at $340B, dressed as altruism.
Altman’s clapback—“buy Twitter for $9.74B”—is the perfect middle finger to Musk’s flailing empire. Remember when X became a $44B dumpster fire? Now he wants to drag OpenAI into his orbit of mismanaged toys.
This feud isn’t about AI ethics—it’s two tech oligarchs weaponizing legal battles and PR stunts. Musk’s “open-source” crusade is safety theater while his own xAI hoards code. The only winner here? Lawyers billing hourly as the world burns.
To be clear (and as far as I understand), it’s not a hostile takeover bid because it cannot be: OpenAI is not a public company and thus doesn’t have a fiduciary duty to thousands to millions of shareholders but instead to a handful of big investors who can decide for themselves whether they want that Elon’s money or not. So this isn’t similar to what Twitter had been through but more like Elon teasing Altman I believe.
The distinction you’re making is valid but misses the forest for the trees. Whether OpenAI is public or not, Musk’s bid is a textbook power play, not a genuine offer. The lack of fiduciary duty doesn’t erase the intent—it amplifies it. This isn’t about shareholder obligations; it’s about Musk leveraging his wealth to reshape AI governance in his image.
Comparing this to Altman’s jab at Twitter isn’t apples-to-apples. Altman’s point was rhetorical, highlighting Musk’s track record of overpromising and underdelivering. The “open-source” crusade Musk touts is hollow when xAI remains proprietary.
This isn’t about legality or structure—it’s about influence and control. Dressing it up as altruism insults anyone paying attention.
Cage fight is no option anymore? 😎
Well, maybe it is better this way. Let them ruin each other, and their companies. The world will be a better place then.
Shortly after the news was announced, Altman posted on X: “no thank you but we will buy twitter for $9.74 billion if you want.”
If only their slapfight meant something good for the world. At least, I don’t see everything collected in Musk’s hands.
Lmao “Twitter”
“It’s time for OpenAI to return to the open-source, safety-focused force for good it once was,” Musk said in a statement provided by his lawyer Marc Toberoff to The Wall Street Journal. “We will make sure that happens.”
I’ll believe that when I see it.
lol. Wasn’t grok built specifically without safety in mind?
Ah so he’s again going to pay twice the amount of what it’s worth to then run of off a cliff and make it worth 20% of it’s real value within a years time?
Seriously, why do people still believe anything this scammer says?
I mean, they believed everything Trump said because he was “a business man, not a politician” even though all he ever was was a failed business man. These people are functional at best - they ain’t bright.
OK, what’s the fediverse alternative for ChatGPT?

How does it compare to ollama in your experience?
Running the models locally.
well…I guess I can use chatGPT to walk me through setting one up?! I can use a double 4090 RTX config instead of heating too. (these are really fucked up times)

Genius mastermind shadow president plan:
- Buy company A for shit ton of money
- Ruin company A so it is worth 80% less
- Still have shit ton of money
- Repeat with company B
Ruin company A so it is worth 80% less
Ruin country USA so it is worth 80% less.
Buy a company mostly with other people’s money (he paid ~15B of the 44B offer) lose a lot, 70% or more but use it to win an election and gain 200B in profit.
Musk is a salesman and he’s good at getting investors to get behind his crap. He’s never produced actual value but that doesn’t matter to stock values apparently.
Unfortunately, looks like buying Twitter was a very effective choice if you take profit off the priority list
Even if you don’t take profit off the list, it could well be that he had more financial success in these other companies because he uses twitter as promotion and propaganda platform…
I mean, yeah. That was the entire point of him buying it: to control one of the biggest social media networks ever, and to use that to push and pull the public discourse however he wanted, in the interest of being a kingmaker. And it fucking worked.
and sadly, the amount of people who use chatgpt to try and get factual information, is quite high… which makes this even more terrifying. It’s about systematically gaining control of communication and information.
There’s tons of alternatives out there now that are as good or better.
If he gets it then clearly it will be the Confederate States ChatGPT.
It’ll work this time. He just has to be even shittier about it. /s
not even one-third of the valuation openai thinks they’re worth (up to 340b). and still below what investors thought in 2022 (157b). src
i think this is old spice admitting that xAI is total bullshit and he’s giving up on making his own.
How stupid is this conspiracy theory:
If it were a threat, like “this is what you’re gonna be worth if you don’t accept, anyway” depending on how power drunk he was feeling when hitting Tweet
Is xAI the same as grok? I really haven’t paid attention to Musk.
Has there been any improvement in fsd since the introduction of the AI initiatives?
Given what happened to twitter I can see this deal being finalized at 600billion.
Yes, specially 600 billion of federal funding
I’d take $5M of government funding and make similar progress. Yo DOGE, call me.
Lol is that even a thing? xAI? I’ve never heard of it, and I self host AI’s, and explore them often.
I thought this was because he’s still pissy they cut him out, but I guess his reasons can be multifaceted
i think this is old spice admitting that xAI is total bullshit
Well, to be 100% fair, it’s all total bullshit.
I use a 16b reduction of deepseek-r1 on my pc at home and it’s definitely not total bullshit. It’s 10gb of local model that can solve mathematics and physics problems for you or program in python or bash. It doesn’t hallucinate (or I haven’t been able to elicit it), it’s aware of the extents of its knowledge. It works incredibly fast on an old ryzen 1600 with 6600xt. Having an open source reasoning AI that takes 10gb of SSD and about 13 gb of ram is so weird that the only thing weirder is seeing smart people dismiss it as bullshit out of hand.
Maybe below what investors or OpenAI thinks, but I think I’d take it. Unless they’ve got more secrets up their sleeve I don’t seem them ever being worth that much.
“NaziAI” has a real ring to it.
AI did nazi that coming.

Hahah he really hates Altman’s guts. Good. Love to see those two expend their energy on each other rather than on fucking all of us.
Unfortunately, they can multitask
There is still a finite amount of time per day. Any amount of time spent on this is less they have available for everything else.
Musk isnt very good at that. He seems to Godzilla’s his way through one project at a time, while interns clean up behind him.
Still slows down some of their other goals. Attention and resources aren’t infinite. The more they wear themselves thin on things that don’t matter / have less bad outcomes, the better
Unfortunately he has a gaggle of hitler youth in tow doing his bidding for him
Unfortunately they can multitask
You guys both posted it within a few seconds of each other judging by my app updating the time. Impressive.
Unfortunately, they can multitask
But only one has a comma.
Coma did you say?
I guess grok isn’t doing so well.
But remember, all of his wealth is only potential, not realized! He ackshually can’t afford to make the world a better place!
The best and most affordable way for Elon Musk to “make the world a better place” would be to drop dead.
I mean an island with no internet connection isn’t that expensive to him
OpenAI’s Yahoo! moment. In a decade it’ll be worthless.

It already is. They’ll bleed users until they are irrelevant at this point.
