Still repeating, ad nauseam, the same tired bullshit, debunked blathering, contradictory nonsense, idiotic propaganda, and irrelevant gibberish? Sad AND Pathetic.




"It is really too bad because someone hates another person they simply can't interpret real facts"


LOL! Look who's talking.

It must drive you even nuttier whenever I post, so I'll be sure to do it more often.



Speaking of Tesla's "FSD", Tesla's so-called “safe unsupervised FSD" won't be ready for at least another year.

All because Elon lied (again) about the timeline.

Enjoy the wait, doofus.

In the meantime, Nvidia’s superior tech is open sourced, so literally any auto company can go “safe unsupervised self-driving”.

Seriously, don't you ever get tired of repeatedly humiliating yourself by constantly exposing your overt ignorance to the world? That's rhetorical, dummy.

BTW, Gronk is amazing at antisemitic slurs, white supremacist conspiracies, fetishizing Hitler, and making child porn, no wonder you gush over it so.

It's really a testament to your moral character.

Elon Musk calls criticism of X's AI sexual-abuse images 'censorship'
https://www.thejournal.ie/musk-defends-grok-censorchip-child-abuse-images-6922760-Jan2026/

CRITICS OF X “want any excuse for censorship”, Elon Musk has claimed as his social media site faces the threat of being shut down over deepfake pornography and child sexual abuse images.

The billionaire sought to push back against the outcry over X’s AI chatbot Grok creating sexualised images of people, including children, at the request of users.



Pointing to claims other AI programmes created non-sexualised images of women in bikinis, he posted on X: “They want any excuse for censorship.”

Criticism of X has focused on Grok’s production of images of child abuse and manipulation of photographs of real women and girls to remove their clothes.

Child sexual abuse material and nonconsensual image generation are not the only issues that have emerged since Musk rolled out his Grok chatbot.

At one point last year, Grok christened itself “Mecha Hitler” and Grokipedia, Musk’s AI answer to Wikipedia, pushes racist conspiracy theories while also getting some basic facts wrong.



Elon's X is now the go-to social network for pedophiles.

Top Fund Manager Says Tesla Stock Is At Least 5X Overpriced, Pegs Fair Value At $80 A Share
https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/26/01/49683310/after-michael-burry-this-top-fund-manager-says-tesla-stock-is-at-least-5x-overpriced-pegs-fair-value-at-80-a-share

As Tesla Inc.’s shares continue to soar, former fund manager George Noble says that its valuations are fundamentally disconnected from reality, even after considering its ambitious robotaxis and Optimus humanoid robots.

Tesla Shares Significantly Overvalued
Noble, who ran Fidelity’s Overseas Fund, outlined Tesla’s “sum of the parts valuation,” considering its various products and segments, before comparing each of them with the valuations of peers and competitors, on Sunday, in a post on X.

Starting with robotics, Noble compared Tesla's Optimus project with established and emerging competitors. “Boston Dynamics is estimated to be worth $5B. Figure AI recently raised money at a valuation of $39B,” he said, while adding that “both are far ahead of $TSLA in the development of robots.”



Even when “generously imputing the Figure AI valuation to Optimus,” Noble said that would translate into $12 per share for Tesla.

Moving on to the company’s robotaxis business, he pointed to the projected valuation for Alphabet Inc.’s Waymo, which he said is “rumored to be going public at a $100B valuation,” adding that assigning a similar valuation to Tesla's robotaxis business would imply “a value of $30 per $TSLA share.”



The company's core automotive business, he said, is already in decline, which, going by “comparables,” is worth $60 billion, or $18 per share, and finally, the energy business, according to Noble, would be worth an additional $20 per share.



All in, Noble said the entire company adds up to just “a total valuation of $80 per $TSLA share,” which stands in stark contrast to its current $438.07 per share.

While acknowledging the rough nature of his estimations, Noble said that his “back-of-the-envelope calculation is far more realistic” than those cited by the company’s bulls, who he said “worship at the altar of price.”

Elon Musk’s xAI tells investors it will build AI for Tesla Optimus, amid breach of fiduciary duty lawsuit
https://electrek.co/2026/01/09/elon-musk-xai-build-ai-tesla-optimus-amid-breach-of-fiduciary-duty-lawsuit/



In a move that completely undermines the “Tesla is an AI company” narrative, Elon Musk’s private startup, xAI, has reportedly told investors that it plans to build the AI to power Tesla’s Optimus robot.

This new development comes from a Bloomberg report detailing xAI’s widening losses and massive cash burn. According to the report, xAI executives explicitly told investors that their goal is to “develop self-sufficient AI to power robots like Tesla’s Optimus.

This is a massive shift in the narrative and potentially the smoking gun in ongoing shareholder lawsuits regarding Musk’s breach of fiduciary duty.

The “Tesla is an AI Robotics Company” Lie?
For years, and especially since Tesla’s EV sales have been declining, Elon Musk has sold Tesla (TSLA) investors on the idea that the automaker is not just a car company, but the world’s leading real-world AI and robotics company. The high valuation of Tesla stock is largely pegged to this promise, specifically the future value of Full Self-Driving (FSD) and the Optimus humanoid robot.



Musk has famously stated that Optimus would be “the biggest product ever created by humanity”, implying that value would be captured by Tesla.

But now, we are learning that the “brain” of Optimus, the critical software that makes it valuable, might not be a Tesla asset at all. Instead, it seems it will be a product of xAI, a private company where Musk has a significantly larger controlling interest than he does in Tesla.

If Tesla is simply building the hardware shell while xAI provides the intelligence, Tesla becomes little more than a contract robot manufacturer for Musk’s private venture, or a massive customer licensing his private company’s IP.

Impact on Shareholder Lawsuits
This report could be devastating for Musk’s defense in current lawsuits accusing him of breaching his fiduciary duties at Tesla.

We previously reported on how Musk threatened to build AI products outside of Tesla unless he was given 25% voting control, a ransom demand that many shareholders felt was met when his massive pay package was reinstated and a new massive pay package worth up to $1 trillion. Yet, despite getting what he wanted, he appears to be moving the AI value outside of Tesla anyway.



This follows a pattern we have been tracking at Electrek for a few years:

Talent Drain: We reported last year how Musk was siphoning top AI talent from Tesla to xAI, effectively hollowing out Tesla’s AI team to staff his startup. Tesla is also directly competing against xAI to recruit new AI talent
Resource Diversion: We also covered the controversy when Musk diverted thousands of Nvidia H100 AI chips that were ordered for Tesla, sending them to xAI instead.
Competition: Musk argued that xAI is not directly competing with Tesla at a product level, but now the narrative is changing.

At the time, Musk claimed xAI was necessary because it was focused on “AGI” while Tesla was focused on “real-world AI.” He specifically said that Tesla, with its “real-world AI” developed through its autonomous driving effort, would be the one building the Optimus robot’s brain.



Musk said:
Tesla has learned a lot from discussions with engineers at xAI that have helped accelerate achieving unsupervised FSD, but there is no need to license anything from xAI.

This new report obliterates that distinction. If xAI is building the brain for Optimus, they are directly taking over Tesla’s core “real-world AI” mission.

And if “AI to power robots like Tesla’s Optimus” means other humanoid robots, then it’s a direct competitor to Tesla.



This is exactly why some Tesla shareholders sued Musk and Tesla’s board for breach of fiduciary duties after the founding of xAI. They argue that Musk had no right to start this effort outside of Tesla and to do so directly with the company. They seek for Tesla to own Musk’s stake in xAI.

The conflict of interest here is so glaring it’s blinding.

Elon Musk is effectively running a shell game with shareholder capital. He raised money for Tesla on the promise of AI dominance, used Tesla’s resources and reputation to build the infrastructure, and is now seemingly transferring the most valuable intellectual property, the AI itself, to a private company he controls.



If xAI charges Tesla for the “privilege” of using the Optimus AI model (likely via a licensing fee or revenue share, similar to the FSD scheme we heard rumors about), it is a direct transfer of wealth from Tesla’s public shareholders to Elon Musk’s privately owned and controlled company, which happens to be burning through ~$1 billion a month.

Tesla investors need to ask themselves: If xAI owns the intelligence behind the robot, what exactly is Tesla owning? A collection of actuators and metal? That’s not a multi-trillion dollar future; that’s a hardware commoditization trap.

It also provides plaintiffs in breach of fiduciary duty lawsuits with incredible ammunition. At this point, it’s impossible to make the argument that Tesla is not directly affected by xAI.

On the other hand, Elon is also making the prospect of Tesla owning xAI increasingly less attractive as the company is becoming mostly known for its generative AI, creating unauthorized sexualized images of people, including minors.

Teen girls are suing Elon Musk's xAI over nonconsensual AI nudes
https://qz.com/teen-girls-sue-xai-grok-class-action



A class action lawsuit in California federal court claims that xAI's Grok model created explicit images of three teenagers using a licensed third-party app.

The complaint, filed March 16, names xAI — the artificial intelligence company founded by Elon Musk — as the defendant in a case brought by three Tennessee teenagers who say its Grok model was used to produce child sexual abuse material depicting them.

The perpetrator did not access Grok or X directly, according to the complaint. He used a third-party app that the plaintiffs allege was a licensee of xAI's technology, and which the complaint says routed image generation through xAI's servers. Among the files was a video showing one of the plaintiffs removing her clothing until she appeared completely nude, the complaint said. The images were photorealistic and not labeled as AI-generated, the complaint said.

Using images of at least 18 additional minors, the perpetrator generated sexually explicit material that he then bartered for content depicting other children on Telegram and Discord, the complaint said. Police arrested him in late December 2025.



The suit is the first in which minors depicted in CSAM allegedly generated by xAI's model have sued the company, according to NPR.

The complaint accuses xAI of deliberately bypassing industry-standard safeguards — including content filters, red-team testing, hash-matching against known CSAM databases, and mandatory reporting to authorities — that it says competitors such as Google and OpenAI have adopted. The suit also alleges xAI profited by licensing Grok to third-party developers, often based outside the U.S., as a way to distance itself from liability.

The complaint lists 13 charges, including federal counts for producing, distributing, and possessing child pornography under Masha's Law, claims under the Trafficking Victims Protection Act, and California state law claims for unfair competition, right of publicity, and several types of negligence. The plaintiffs are seeking at least $150,000 in statutory damages for each violation, along with punitive damages and a court order to make xAI stop the alleged actions.
