I've seen the claimed pictures in context with their videos, they are distinctly different gestures in timing and emphasis - normal waves, without the sharp hand to chest -> locked elbow with hand outstretched motion. Again, the seig heil is a particular gesture with a particular emphasis and timing which Musk imitated precisely, twice in quick succession. Those other photos are decontextualized from gestures which w…
Genuinely why would Elon do a Nazi salute when he's in the Jewish/Israeli class?
Man, I got ready to debunk this but just questioned my life choices instead. Why the fuck am I glued to my smartphone arguing with people posting shit like this instead of spending time with my daughters, creating new things or looking after my own body and soul. Michael, please copy your comment verbatim into any LLM with search capabilities and ask for primary sources that confirm or deny your statements, and break…
When you make politics a big part of your identity, you can’t help but to inject it everywhere. It’s glaringly weird and annoying for those of us who are apathetic and just want to talk about tech, but that’s how it has been for a few years.
> It’s glaringly weird and annoying for those of us who are apathetic
Do you think being apathetic is a good thing?
You may not care about politics, but politics definitely cares about you.
You really are a fanboy, huh. How do you handle all the lies Musk told while he was in charge of DOGE and all the damage he did? The richest man in the world destroying the aid organization that helps the absolute poorest for no reason at all is NOT a good look. In fact between Musk destroying USAID, his enthusiastic firing at Twitter and Tesla combined with his near complete lack of charity donations makes him one o…
I see you didn’t pay attention to what I did and did not say in my original comment. I’ve read a biography of him and When The Heavens Went On Sale, which covers SpaceX [Edit: I'd remembered the book incorrectly. I have read that book, but it doesn't cover SpaceX. The books that I'd read that cover SpaceX are The Space Barons: Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and The Quest To Colonize The Cosmos, by Christian Davenport, and Li…
Lets assume what you say is true about Musk THEN, it isn't true about current day Twitter addicted, drug addicted, brain damaged Musk at all. If he ever had any capability to execute and listen to advice the Cybertruck proves he doesn't anymore. Musk has learned how easy it is to fool people like you and is all in on it.
I've been using grok 4.5 with grok build soon after it came out and dropped claude. primarily for personal code. It communicates better. While that might not sound like a big deal it is. It doesn't give me a wall of text, tells me what I need to know and I'll make the actual decisions. It is very quick as well which means the sessions are far more interactive, I'll be steering it more. I sometimes cross check with co…
Same, sad how far Claude has fallen. I still think Claude code patterns are amazing so I just port those.

Out of interest, do Musk's politics impact your decision on whether or not to use Grok? I'd be interested to know where folks lie on the (Agree / Disagree) and (Use / Don't use) axes.
I disagree with Musk's politics but it does not impact my decision to use Grok. That's because being serious about aligning my capital to my values doesn't leave much in the way of eligible products or services. I consequently decide not to worry about this as a moral axis for my life.

It does. I believe he is one of the worst people and contributed to misery of humanity. I had nothing against him until he dismantled USAID. The richest man in the world did not go to a party on weekend to make sure that poorest men on the world have less help. He was basically on the side of HIV. So i never use his products. Beside don't read too much in to benchmarks. They are alrrady ruined by Goldhart principle.…
