I'd feel great being someone that financed the takeover of X/Twitter, and being stuck with inflate shares in an also-ran AI play. Obviously there is no rule of law for Musk, and no recourse for them.

He'll keep his ball of twine rolling past TSLA's next earnings date on April 22nd.




What makes you think xAI will be an also ran?

Grok 3 is right up there with SOTA models and the time in which they trained it was fairly impressive. Seems like they have as good of a shot as anyone at capturing the market.


Because it is run by Elon Musk, and he hasn't shown any sign that he's no longer good any running things. His successful endeavors are the ones he neglects.


I guess the investors were basically making a bet on Musk making things work and so still are.


Why would someone be upset over getting xAI on top of having twitter equity?
