Not mentioning Grok 4.6 here is a crime. Fast and accurate. And it can communicate, unlike the gobbledygook that comes out of Claude.

Elon burned too many bridges to warrant ever supporting anything he is associated with ever again.

Calling another person a monster because you disagree with them (or what you heard about them from third parties) is not the pinnacle of civility. Just think about what you’re saying here. Monster: “Malformed animal or human, creature afflicted with a birth defect”. You don’t mean this literally, do you? You may want to spend a moment to think about what kind of company you’re putting yourself in with such wording an…

The person you are replying to maybe should have better referred to him as having “no moral compass”, which I believe is quite accurate.

Elon has a moral compass. The problem is that it seems to always tell him whatever he wants to do is the morally correct thing. It’s worse than no compass - his is faulty.

I use Claude Code with a MCP that lets it communicate with Codex and tell it to “iterate until both of you are happy”.

The agents then go for several rounds criticising each other plans and implementations, catching big and small issues on each other’s work. The end result is not perfect, but it is a lot better than what I can get from relying on only one model.

With you on that, but it’s hard to justify giving $100 to Grok over $100 to Claude or Codex. It’s very good but what you get for the value is just objectively (still) worse compared to the other 2

I do the same with Gemini. I have a skill that teaches any AI to use the antigravity cli (agy) to communicate with Gemini and ask to review or check decisions

Sure, you can let politics dominate everything you do. Or you can realize that SpaceX is a massive (public) company with thousands of employees, and millions of shareholders, all of whom have their own opinions and goals, just like any other corporation.

Competition is good. Excluding a leading player in the market because you don’t like Elon Musk is…something.

If politics isn’t a concern, why not just use deepseek?

I am trying all of them. At this time, for me, Grok hits the sweet spot of quality, speed, cost and ease of use.

I’m absolutely “hot money” when it comes to coding models. These things are commodities.
