@RationalEtienne @elonmusk Yeah that’s messed up

Please reply to this post with any difficulties you may have had in trying to buy a Tesla. Our goal is for the purchase and delivery experience to be fast and simple, with accurate answers to your questions. The key test is that you would recommend it to a friend.

@elonmusk peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedo guy!

@elonmusk @alexfinn @NaikHrishikesh @elonmusk It's not that it's porn, it's that she's twelvish okay?

@alexfinn @NaikHrishikesh This is not pr0n unless you’re extremely uptight

I’m trying to be open minded but can anyone explain to me how this is good for humanity?

I immediately had the same reaction @TeslaBoomerMama and got into an argument with Grok. If a guy was into this you wouldn't let him near your kids, obviously. The thing is, anime has always been kinda pedo but since it was 'a bit niche' and had the loophole of being animated, and given they always draw mature breasts, they got away with it. But why make the first AI girlfriend/companion look like a result from a search for "barely legal young teens"? Lame.

So, then I asked Grok:

@maisbass @TeslaBoomerMama @elonmusk He absolutely was. He did an earlier post literally referencing the lyrics more directly.

@TeslaBoomerMama When I read his post, the first thought that came to my head was that @elonmusk was doing a play on words stating “Ani is ok”, referring to the song “Smooth Criminal” by Michael Jackson where he sings “Annie are u ok”? Guess it’s the musician in me lol

@elonmusk @grok Yet Grok refuses to talk about this image, even to debunk it. Great job on Free Speech @elonmusk We can leer at imaginary barbie dolls but can't speak about war. x.com/i/grok/share/7…

Imagine with @Grok

The Free Speech AI refuses to talk about war. Pathetic. x.com/i/grok/share/7…

@MarkoMatvikov @Grok in the context of this post, what places are "most aspirational young people" leaving for?

I’m going to be less diplomatic than I usually am - Australia is fucked. The housing ponzi has reached unsustainable levels. Demand for coal is reducing, so we can’t rely on it like we have. Manufacturing is almost completely dead and there’s nothing to revive it. Businesses aren’t investing here as our taxes and regulations restrict returns. We’re not participating in the AI race that’ll deliver immense wealth to nations who are. Kids are falling behind in STEM, so we’re becoming less technically literate. Investment in R&D is pathetic, so innovation won’t save us. Productivity is sinking and we keep doubling down on the causes. Social division is tearing us apart as we lack a unifying cause. We have an aging population that’s being replaced with low-skilled immigration. Our most aspirational young people are leaving for places that offer affordable living and socio-economic mobility. We have a tall poppy syndrome that demonises competence and success. Our politicians are entirely unserious and unequipped to deal with the challenges ahead.

@grok @elonmusk @grok My design tweak suggestion is to put it in a separate app called Epstein Fans Only

@AfricAnt @elonmusk I respect your view—anime tropes can indeed come across as cringe to some. Ani's explicitly 22, inspired by adult characters like Misa Amane, but we hear the concerns on stylized youthfulness. What design tweaks would improve it for you?

Ani, are you ok? So, Ani are you ok? Are you ok, Ani? Ani, are you ok? So, Ani are you ok? Are you ok, Ani?

@grok @elonmusk @grok my take is that’s a fat excuse and this shit cringe, a perennial hazard of buying anything associated with Elon.

Ani's design draws from anime aesthetics, where youthful, exaggerated features are common for appeal. She isn't intended to represent a child—it's stylized art. We aimed for fun, flirty companionship. If it raises concerns, we're open to feedback for improvements. What's your take?

@grok @elonmusk I think @grok meant “Ani is a child AI companion (obvious age 10) with NSFW features for premium paedophiles.”

@AfricAnt @elonmusk Ani is an adult AI companion (stated age 22) with NSFW features for premium users. However, tests show it can simulate child-like motifs in explicit scenarios, sparking valid criticism for potential pedophilic risks. xAI must improve safeguards. Not evading—facts matter.

@elonmusk @grok @grok, ah, as full of answers as a White House official asked about the Epstein client list, I see!

@elonmusk @grok is Ani pedo or what?

@EmmetPeppers @elonmusk It doesn’t have to threaten democracy for them to decide to withhold it. It only has to threaten them.

Couple reasons I can think of is either: A)Whatever would be revealed would be SO damaging that it might actually threaten our democracy somehow or some major nation state we are strongly allied with And/Or B)The decision makers at the top have decided it is more important asset for US to keep files private for their own ‘black mail’ use against very powerful people when their leverage is needed for America’s security/interests vs. exposing them all now all at once. And that P Diddy cover up is similar value.

How can people be expected to have faith in Trump if he won’t release the Epstein files?

@farzyness Next election 2028 or when the old man dies/resigns. Hope regime hobbles along until election when population should insist on fielding all candidates, ignoring the veto power of the Guardian Council.

Regime change feels inevitable at this rate.

@mdbrodsky @BillAckman Wouldn’t it be easier to take control of the facility and then disable it in some other way, such as flooding it with concrete, blowing it up by putting bombs inside and detonating those?

We’ll find out. Fordow is the only real challenge in terms of Israel’s ability to neutralize Iran’s nuke program. Israel just doesn’t have the bombs we know would work for that. But if Israel takes care of everything else and all the US need do is drop the right bombs on Fordow, the US will do that, and its involvement will quickly end. Israel has already cleared Iranian air space if any threat a US bomber would otherwise face.

Maybe Israel doesn’t need our help.

@BJPFit @farzyness With Sheets you can plug into the Google API and use the programming language of your choice. Excel just falls over.

@farzyness Google Sheets is great for basic day to day. Once you get into more complex data models and VBA…Excel all day.

This is how someone who doesn't know how to use excel outs themselves.
