Musk’s various ponzi schemes, up to the Artemis-killing SpaceX fiasco, were coming due. Trump provided the opportunity for him to pivot into government, by replacing it with his AI, gps with starlink, air traffic control with whatever he comes up with, etc etc etc, making himself even more too big to fail. Trump’s ideology aligning with Musk’s own true beliefs is a bonus.
It will severely weaken the US in direct short-term measurable ways, to the point it is a real disaster for the US. Those to blame are all those that never called him out throughout his rise.
I work with a team of very talented AI and ML folks. I think it works quite well in certain usecases. These are not they.
All of DOGE “plans” seem like shit that was cooked up by immature teenagers and drug addled brains, because they are.
Elon and his team of ketamin demons
Looks like Musk is using the Japanize “drying river”-model that’s like starter lever shit in economics. Doing that on a society level is insanely stupid.
My grandpa loved shouting social security codes with their names, can you please do that while celebrating like he used to?
DOGE
Plan to Push AI Across the US Federal Governmentis Wildly Dangerous.Fixed that for you.
He’s looking more and more like Kim Jong Un by the day…
I don’t think even kim jong un looks as stupid as this guy on a regular basis.
I bet it conveniently comes with a contract for xai. By a complete coincidence and definitely not more criminal behavior.
McDonald’s couldn’t even get AI to take drive-through orders properly. Musk wants it to run the government without even doing a test run first.
He’s either
- an incompetent moron who thinks AI eventually will be like in the movies, you just need to push throught its teething pains,
- someone that tries to destroy the government and its services through weaponized incompetence, so they can be privatized,
- both, because I saw way too many things in real life.
That’s because he and his kind believe government is useless and can just be broken without losing anything important. From their point of view, government is just a thing that takes money from them and spends it on people who don’t deserve to live because they’re not asshole billionaire techbros. And it makes poor people’s lives slightly less unpleasant by giving them money and services, which billionaires don’t like because it makes the poor less desperate and exploitable.

kinda like racks of servers that keep a social media site used by 100s of millions of users? the ones muskrat just yanked willy-nilly out of a data center and loaded onto uhauls? it took weeks for twitter to repair that damage.
Link?
The government IS the test run.
Jesus Christ. Would someone just 80s arcade game kidnap him already and scare him aleady?
Do like the arcade machines and unplug 'em.
Here’s how you know it’s not ready: AI hasn’t replaced a single CEO.
Man, I want to be at that shareholder meeting; “how about we just don’t have a CEO and pocket the savings?”
Then they’ll replace the board with AI. Guess who will control the AI?
This is a better start
And
ifwhen the AI fails, buddy billionaires will be there to offer privatized alternative, for a fee of course.They want this so they can blame the computer when it makes a bad decision which is actually just parroting what they want
Its also just like. Its not there yet.
It cant make a full wine glass.
Elon is the sort of person to (pay someone) to play universal paperclips and then wonder why they didn’t ask the AI to instead make money.
You generally won’t understand another person (and adversary especially) if you don’t see how their actions perfectly make sense for them, and without conspiracies.
So - there is one matching variant, that Musk sincerely hates bureaucratic kinds of power, but not proprietary kinds of power. Replacing a bureaucrat with (some imagined good) AI in another assumption would be replacing a mediocre human with inherent lust for power with an unreliable automaton, but without lust for power. The good part here is that humans are unreliable too and working bureaucracies compensate for that.
The bad part is that for every failure a person should be responsible proportionally to their input. I’m not sure they’ll do that, or I’m sure they won’t.
That would make sense if corporate bureaucracy was not bureaucracy. But it is.
Yes, but corporate bureaucracy is someone’s property, so ultimately there is a responsible person, always.
