Dupe of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49261532#49263241.

Dang - might be worth merging these two.

Interesting. Unfortunately Musk's personal brand is so poisonous that I would never let him anywhere near my data. I'm curious if big businesses will have similar concerns and avoid tools from SpaceXAI regardless of how they are? I guess lots are already using it by default since the Cursor acquisition.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48892468 plus the whole cursor brand should be tainted alongside it after this malarkey

Cursor by inertia, but the X ownership is a big X against it...

Musk burned billions in brand value by renaming Twitter, and he'll be doing the same with Cursor. The Cursor brand was the only wedge he had with enterprise customers, who seem to avoid Grok products altogether

I was merely asking a question. I'm not a native English speaker so if my comments sounded offending, I didn't mean it. I don't follow Musk on X. I have no political interests. I read news about SpaceX, Tesla, and X and that's it. I'm focusing on building my own product and company. Just somehow curious when I read the previous comments so I asked.

Alright I apologize if it was a serious inquiry. He's been very involved in Nazi politics in the USA and Europe and his companies show exactly no ethics. Here's what I can think off the top of my head. Grok is a child porn generator, and primary use is "nudification." He's got illegal gas turbines powering his data centers. Grok code uploads your home dir to his cloud when launched. He paid people to vote for trump. Said he'd go to jail if a Dem was elected. Gave two Nazi salutes at Trump's inauguration. Unbanned white supremacists on Twitter. Banned trans speech at the same time (big free speech guy was the excuse for unbanning nazis). When he was in the government DOGE deregulated his own industries and cut jobs that were specifically investigating him. Saved no money which was the whole goal. Doge also appeared to steal a ton of data related to social security and other sensitive stuff. When he launches compute into space to avoid regulation I'm sure it's not because of land but so the FBI can't seize it.

What about the site they posted the comment on

If you have the time and are willing to do it, go check his Twitter profile. You can agree with him, but you will get it why some companies would avoid his products
taoh 1 day ago||
I don't follow him. Sometimes he appeared on my timeline and I skimmed through. I don't agree or disagree with him strongly. There are some companies that will use or avoid certain products or people. Thus there was my question. If the question looked political, it wasn't my intention. Thx.

I don't get it why your previous comment were flagged. I understood your question and tried to answer it without being political as well. Don't worry about it

I think perhaps I won't trust anything that ever gets released by this company, likely in perpetuity.

There are two companies that have lost my trust, probably forever: X and Meta. I don't see myself ever trusting anything coming out of either of these companies ever again

Meta feels more like your traditional 'greedy corporation' that's fairly amoral and as a consequence ends up doing some bad things in pursuit of more profits.

The other one feels pretty explicitly evil at this point.

Anecdotally, same; recently I stopped using Cursor after learning that XAI now owns it.

It should be studied how we reached a point where we trust more a Chinese company, that's well know for being state controlled, vs an American company because it seems they could do worse. Still no idea what "worse" it could do because we've reached the threshold where plague and cholera are intertwined and every possible outcome seems abusive.
rootusrootus 1 day ago||||
Perhaps people are deciding that the impact a nefarious foreign government can have on them is less of a risk than their own government acting the same way. So Chinese should feel safer interacting with American companies and Americans safer interacting with Chinese companies.

That's probably bullshit.

Could also just be yet another wave of information warfare. I'm like 87.9% sure that bad actors explains nearly every aspect of this awful timeline we are on.

On a personal level, your own government can absolutely, 100% be more likely to do you harm than a foreign government, for simple jurisdictional reasons. They have more power over your life. And with an administration as corrupt and degenerate as the current US administration, it's an extremely reasonable perspective to have.

state controlled is much better than billionaire controlled. a lesson many haven't learned. yet.

aren't these the same thing?

When it comes to the World Economic Forum et al, they certainly are. Supposedly socialist administration structures can be eerily similar to the capitalist ones. Down to the committees, or the consultative groups which are steered/controlled by certain individuals for their own ends, and the appeal to the public to gaslight them into thinking they backed whatever all along.

Both are top down structures that disenfranchise common people.
