    Musk is very pro legal immigration, even stating the restrictions are way too tight.

    I am not sure where he would use illegal immigrants. His companies usually pay better than industry standard so he isn't competing with the bottom dollar.

    LOL. This tweet is a perfect example of what the woman in the video was talking about if you would have listened to what she said. Instead you read the cropped headline, got triggered, and forwarded the tweet like a good boy culture warrior.

    I would check with the janitorial staff and the construction at staff at his facilities.

    Also wouldn’t Musks concern about “invasion level immigration being permanent “ mean they those immigrants were becoming legal? How would that go with him wanting more legal immigration?

    maga musk has become one of the biggest distributors of misinformation on twitter. He has tweeted a number of different versions of this same tweet, accusing the Biden admin of a "replacement theory" reasoning behind a "secret" plot... so secret its featured on the USCIS web site.

    And of course, musk cites a racist organization founded by john Tanton, a retired Michigan ophthalmologist who opposed immigration on racial grounds, desired a white ethnic majority in the United States and advocated for eugenics. cis has published tons of misleading and disinformation for years, including a study trump tried to claim his $15 billion vanity wall "would pay for itself."

    Musk is doing his best to sink the Biden administration, even resorting to the same trash tactics Republicans and Democrats use.

    Same? Nay.

    There are only two people who regularly spread disinformation and conspiracy theories to over 100 million people without shame: Trump and Musk. No one else has done that.

    Now I know who he reminds me of

    “The closing of the Twitter deal had been scheduled for that Friday,” Isaacson’s book reads. “An orderly transition had been scripted for the opening of the stock market that morning. The money would transfer, the stock would be delisted, and Musk would be in control. That would permit Agrawal and his top Twitter deputies to collect severance and have their stock options vest.”

    By closing the deal out the night before, however, Musk could fire the then-executives “for cause” and avoid paying their severance and the value of their unvested stock awards, the lawsuit says.

    “This is the Musk playbook: to keep the money he owes other people, and force them to sue him,” the complaint reads. “Even in defeat, Musk can impose delay, hassle, and expense on others less able to afford it.”

    Participating in this conversation makes everyone dumber. Even if the Democrats are indeed trying to convert illegal immigrants into votes, Democrats eventually have to kiss their ass down the road to maintain the votes.

    Effectively in todays environment, if immigrants, illegal or not, doesn't convert to decent paying wages, it ultimately hurts the Democrats. Biden's abysmal border fiasco only adds a bigger burden to the entitlement budget. Stupid Democrats (and Republicans) are going to pay a huge price by not addressing these deficits. The economic gain and tax receipts from all of this low skilled labor is not going to be able to keep up with deficit spending.

    The surge in immigration is a $7 trillion gift to the economy over the next decade. Tax evasion, mostly from high earners, causes a $7 trillion loss in revenue over the next decade. Guess who is against immigration and funding the IRS to fight tax evasion? The guy who screams the loudest about deficits and debt. Fake? Misinformed? Take your pick.

    The comment you quoted was only talking about illegals. Go back and crunch your numbers. No red herrings.

    Last time, you believed it only applied to legal immigration, and now you're thinking the opposite. Either way, both are incorrect. It's all immigration, both legal and illegal.

    Most of the latest available chatbots can take in a couple books worth of tokens.

    It doesn't summarize everything concisely out of the box and needs some prompt engineering to get what a lawyer, journalist or netizen would want.

    Elon's biggest game changer in AI is his lawsuit against OpenAI. Even a lib rag like the daily beast admittedly accepts its premise.

    https://www.thedailybeast.com/elon-musk-has-a-good-point-with-his-openai-lawsuit
    OpenAI’s pursuit of billions forsakes the company’s original goal of creating open-source AI for the benefit of the world—and not just to line the pockets of Big Tech executives.

    Lawyers on behalf of Musk are claiming that ChatGPT-4 is legally an AGI which would terminate their multi-decabillion contract with MS and make their future tech open under their charter. The article is written by a moron, so they couldn't distinguish that GPT-4 claim as a basement to open up discovery on GPT-5/GPT-6/*Q. Originally this was supposed to be open for researchers and enthusiasts like how they rolled out GPT-3.

    He also challenges the lucrative for-profit model that ChatGPT's non-profit is currently running, which after the aborted Altman coup, looks more like a tax evasion hack and scam with every new day.

    This might well shed light to the public on what happened during that Altman coup and whether Illya is under Elon's Skynet Protection Program...

    That's not to say that he won't lose. But the man has deep pockets and he wants to give us all a front row seat to the circus.

    If you're a Biden supporter, this is what you DONT want happening.

    Put it in perspective; Musk lives off government subsidies. Trump will give hime everything he wants. 10k EV credits for 4 years? Removing regulatory barriers for SpaceX? Stricter car import regulations? We can go on and on and on.

    I was waiting for the Musk/Trump alliance. The Biden administration was stupid to to go head on with Musk. I've said multiple times Musk holds more power than many realize.

    I don't think Musk or X wield the influence you seem to believe.

    I suppose you have forgotten about this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook–Cambridge_Analytica_data_scandal

    Unless you think X is failing and everyone is fleeing to Threads.

    This isn't about Musk posting "Biden sucks. vote Trump". Facebook and X have the most valuable data when it comes to election sediment. Its not just about knowing what everyone is posting/liking/reposting/bookmarking. He has real time data on the most effective message to push.
