You’re absolutely right. I think on this server there’s a tacit understanding that “musk made x” means “musk paid for x”. It’s just shorter to say he made it.
also, given we all know who and what musk is, it’s a lot funnier to pin a long list of failures (a lot of which were precipitated by musk’s terrible management and tantrums, and by the culture of fear he creates in the companies he buys) on the chest of the guy who paid a lot of money to falsely be called a chief engineer
He already gets the credit for a lot of things he didn’t come up with and gladly takes it. Unlike the electric car and spacecraft companies he bought and whatever nice things already existed or were in development at Twitter when he bought it, I fully believe he was at least the one who demanded they start working on an LLM, which I guess makes it more of his thing than most of his claims. And since he’s getting all kinds of undeserved credit anyway, I’m happy to let the narrative be “Elon Musk built a chatbot intended to be a cryptofascist piece of shit like him, but failed because reality turns out to have a liberalwoke bias”.
Why do we still say “Elon Musk made”? He’s never made anything himself.
Grok emerged fully formed from his forehead, I checked
