      Too, bad. He won the election he bought, and so now he’s (no joke) being proposed as speaker of the house (3rd in line to presidency) which is an unelected position.

      Then if/when Trump dies and JD Vance gets killed/abdictates, you have Elon President.

    Why does Elon need all these handouts? If he wants to build toys he should do so with his own money.

    Huh.

    You know, when I think of supercomputer applications, I think of deeply analytical problems based on solid math and well understood algorithms that can be highly parallelised to take the maximum theoretical advantage of the hardware at hand.

    You know, the opposite of what the “AI” crowd is doing. Throwing vast amounts of crunching power at a barely understood hypothetical black-box problem in hopes that it potentially yields some interesting results. Maybe.

    His vaporware time after time raises billions without any viable output.

    In a meanwhile, there are legit businesses which struggle financially because the market ‘doesn’t believe’ in them.

    Free market will solve it, my ass

      Free market? Welcome to the bailout economy, where success is determined purely by proximity to power. Any facade of a free market died in 2008.

    Anything Musk touches is immediately tainted by association. Any AI product he has a say in should immediately be considered a potential danger to humanity as a whole.

      Xitter went bust a long time ago. It’s propped up by political interests. Tesla auto will probably be in the dumps after the smoke and mirrors wear off. No one outside the cult wants to buy a new Tesla.

          Tesla originally had some star power because they were doing things that traditional automakers claimed were impossible. A litany of poor engineering decisions and Elon showing his true colors have worn off any remaining novelty.
