So there I was, scrolling through X (you know, what we used to call Twitter), when I stumbled upon an epic thread that had me both chuckling and shaking my head. Christopher David (@Tazerface16) had a lot to say about Elon Musk's latest grievances, and boy, was it a wild ride.
: So Why is Elon So Angry?
Elon Musk is super duper angry at Apple right now. Why, you ask? Well, it turns out Apple and OpenAI just announced a partnership to integrate OpenAI's ChatGPT AI product into Apple's iOS ecosystem. This little love affair is a big blow to Elon's side hustle, xAI, which just raised a cool $6 billion in equity. Ouch!
Christopher explains it best: This move has effectively screwed over xAI right before they could even launch a product. And if that wasn’t , Elon had diverted thousands of Nvidia's H100 chips from Tesla to xAI, taking a lot of heat for it. Talk about a rough day at the office.
Why This Matters
Christopher dives deep into how this move impacts xAI, starting with a comparison of other tech giants:
Google: They’ve invested billions in AI and have Android as a platform to distribute it.
Microsoft: They’ve also poured billions into AI and have Windows and Microsoft 360 as their platforms.
And then there's Apple, which, until now, didn't have an AI product but had the powerful iOS platform. With OpenAI’s product now in their arsenal, Apple’s poised to dominate the AI space.
What About xAI?
So, where does this leave xAI? According to Christopher, it leaves them out in the cold. The only place Elon can deploy xAI now is on Twitter, which, as we all know, has become a bit of a wild west with its own issues.
Christopher’s thread humorously notes that Twitter is currently a “pornbot infested hellhole of dildo ads and crypto scams.” Not exactly the ideal launchpad for a cutting-edge AI product.
And just when you think the thread couldn’t get any better, Christopher signs off with a cute bunny picture. Because, why not? After all the drama, a little cuteness is just what the doctor ordered.
This thread is a prime example of why I love scrolling through X. You never know what kind of gems you’ll find. From corporate drama to cute animals, it’s all there. So, next time you’re feeling bored, dive into X and see what you can uncover. You might just find your next great story.
And that's a wrap! Hope you enjoyed this fun take on the latest tech drama. Happy scrolling!
