The goal is to create hundreds of specialized coding and generative AI agents. 'It should be possible to simulate [Microsoft] entirely with AI,' Musk says.

It should be possible for a car to not run over people, too. That seems like a more pressing computing issue.

    For the love of god, just OD on ketamine already.

    I don't think that's possible. Ketamine is a great and safe drug with many medicinal purposes

    Accidental death is very much possible though, and has happened before. Drowning seems to be a particular risk here

    But is Elon alone at any time? He travels with a very tight security detail. I am willing to bet there is always someone around him almost all the time, meaning if he does take a good hit of ketamine and the tiles on his bathroom won't slow down he won't drown. Someone will come to his aid.

    Elon Musk will be alone until the day he dies. It doesn't matter how many people he pays to surround him.

    He will always be alone.

    He will never know a friend.

    He should give up. Now.

    He will always be alone.

    It's absolutely possible if you're abusing it recreationally, especially if you start mixing it with who knows what else. The biggest risk is respiratory system just shutting off.

    That's just an OD though, long term abuse like it's suspected by many that Musk is doing has a whole host of nasty symptoms that you can look up yourself.

    I remember back when I was a kid it was hard to convince people that wealth and success was not a matter of being better, smarter, or harder working - as we were told - but rather almost entirely a matter of luck. Thankfully, Elon Musk has shown many people the light that I could not. Thank you, Elon

    If wealth was the inevitable result of hard work and enterprise, every woman in Africa would be a millionaire. The claims that the ultra-rich 1% make for themselves – that they are possessed of unique intelligence or creativity or drive – are examples of the self-attribution fallacy.

    Billionaires are just people with uncontrolled hoarding disorder, but instead of hoarding cats, or junk cars, or magazines, they hoard money. If they hoarded anything else, the authorities would step in and clean up the place and get them medication, but because it's money, they get celebrated as successful businesspeople, and get loads of more government cash shoveled at them.

    Seeing how Microsoft (and Windows 11 in particular) is doing lately, and how practically every single Windows update is breaking something important, a lot.

    We've already got one vibe coded Windows. We don't need another one.

    “In principle, given that software companies like Microsoft do not themselves manufacture any physical hardware, it should be possible to simulate them entirely with AI,” he added.

    Ummm, is someone going to tell him about the Xbox, Surface devices, and the entire Azure infrastructure they built.

    Musk just announces this shit to look like he's doing something so the investors don't flee. If anything is actually delivered it will be forgettable and he will have moved on to the next thing he can hype.

    It's that or he's trying to get Microsoft to give Grok a more prominent role on their platform and this is how he thinks he can active that.

    How the stack of cards hasn't fallen down yet is head scratching and I'd love to know what business is actually using Grok for something serious.

    I've said it before, early on he should have become reclusive and hired PR people to filter his ideas out to his companies and the public, and he'd be considered a prodigy and genius and wouldn't have the self-induced failures he does. But that goes against his narcissistic personality, so it wasn't going to happen.

    Annoys me that people sling "narcissist" at everyone they don't like, but damn, the man is hitting on all 8-cylinders for a diagnosis, and he only needs to hit 5:

    • Having a grandiose sense of self-importance, such as exaggerating achievements and talents, expecting to be recognized as superior even without commensurate achievements

    • Preoccupation with fantasies of success, power, beauty, and idealization

    • Belief in being "special" and that they can only be understood by or associated with other high-status people (or institutions)

    • Demanding excessive admiration

    • Sense of entitlement

    • Exploitation behaviors

    • Lack of empathy

    • Envy towards others or belief that others are envious of them Arrogant, haughty behaviors and attitudes [1]

    Honestly, while he's at the high end of things, it's not just him. I think that a lot of celebrities having Twitter or similar on a phone in their pocket makes them really prone to making extremely public statements without giving the statements some consideration. I don't remember the level of bonkers statements in 2025 from celebrities constantly flooding conversation in the 1990s.

    Good luck to Musk then. Was listening to a cybersec podcast on my morning dog walk and one of the stories was about the amount of security flaws that can be created with AI coding machines. Unless you're aware of the language, exploits, weaknesses etc. etc.

    What a dumbass. Every time he opens his smarmy gob these days he makes himself seem dumber every time.

    It's the drugs, the sycophants, and the power.

    He's completely lost touch and has gone full megalomaniac.

    "Oh, yes, chief, creating a giant bowl of cheese is so original, you're a genius", a sycophant.

    "God. I'm a god", Musk.

    "Yes, chief, you're a god", a sycophant.

    "I'm so amazing that people think I'm a god", musk.

    I think there's a touch of cognitive decline happening, too. Or like a serious brain injury.

  • I just watched something earlier that showed a clip of him saying how he was warning everyone early on about the dangers of AI because he was genuinely scared of the harm it could do.

    Glad he’s not a hypocrite or anything.

    If I had his money I'd be 24/7 inventing cool things for myself and wife and friends to experience. This guy has a fundamental need to be the loudest person in the room and to embroil himself into anything and everything. I would almost feel sorry for him - his life has got to really suck so bad and he can't fix it. So instead he goes off on 100 projects that make no sense or fall apart. There's stuff I can't wrap my head around like - why ditch LIDAR when it's absolutely the answer ? You just know his convoluted brain is so full of mess that if you were offered a deal with the devil to get all his money on the condition that you got trapped in his meat grinder of a mind... you'd turn down the offer.

    If I had his money I would attempt to end homelessness in the US, someone who seemed to know what they were talking about estimated it would cost $50 billion. I would start my own animal sanctuary. I would create a high speed rail system. Then I would just fuck around, travel, and build weird shit. Probably take a bunch of LSD every now and then.
