Elon Musk threatens to file ‘thermonuclear’ lawsuit against media watchdog

The White House has condemned the owner of social media platform X Elon Musk for the abhorrent promotion of anti-Semitism. The White House was reacting to a post by Musk in which he replied to an antisemitic post on X.

Elon Musk faces backlash for endorsing antisemitic conspiracy

<p>The White House condemned billionaire Elon Musk on Friday (Nov 17) over the "abhorrent promotion" of antisemitism.</p>

<p>White House spokesman Andrew Bates, referring to a post by Tesla CEO on his social media platform X, where Musk endorsed an antisemitic conspiracy theory, said that it was "unacceptable" to repeat such a "hideous lie."</p>

<p>"We condemn this abhorrent promotion of anti-semitic and racist hate in the strongest terms, which runs against our core values as Americans," Bates said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"We all have a responsibility to bring people together against hate, and an obligation to speak out against anyone who attacks the dignity of their fellow Americans and compromises the safety of our communities," he added.</p>

<p>Musk had reacted to an antisemitic post on X saying, "You have said the actual truth".</p>

<p>The original post has been perceived by the White House and the US media as a reference to a longtime conspiracy theory among White supremacists which says that the Jews have this top-secret plan of bringing in illegal immigrants in order to weaken the white majority.</p>

<p>It is pertinent to note that this idea was endorsed by the assailant who opened fire at a synagogue in Pittsburgh in 2018 and claimed the lives of at least 11 people.</p>

<p>"It is unacceptable to repeat the hideous lie behind the most fatal act of antisemitism in American history at any time, let alone one month after the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust," Bates said, referring to the October 7 assault by Palestinian militant group Hamas on Israel.</p>

White House spokesman Andrew Bates, referring to a post by Tesla CEO on his social media platform X, where Musk endorsed an antisemitic conspiracy theory, said that it was "unacceptable" to repeat such a "hideous lie." "We condemn this abhorrent promotion of anti-semitic and racist hate in the strongest terms, which runs against our core values as Americans," Bates said. "We all have a responsibility to bring people together against hate, and an obligation to speak out against anyone who attacks the dignity of their fellow Americans and compromises the safety of our communities," he added.

The original post has been perceived by the White House and the US media as a reference to a longtime conspiracy theory among White supremacists which says that the Jews have this top-secret plan of bringing in illegal immigrants in order to weaken the white majority.

"It is unacceptable to repeat the hideous lie behind the most fatal act of antisemitism in American history at any time, let alone one month after the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust," Bates said, referring to the October 7 assault by Palestinian militant group Hamas on Israel.

Elon Musk is facing backlash from some Jewish leaders and at least one advertiser after he embraced an antisemitic conspiracy theory on social media.

Elon Musk faces backlash from some Jewish leaders

Billionaire Elon Musk has denied a report that his rocket company SpaceX was discussing an initial public offering for its satellite internet business, Starlink, as soon as 2024. Musk called the Bloomberg report "false". The news report stated that SpaceX had been moving Starlink's assets to a wholly owned unit that would ultimately be spun off.

Elon Musk denies Starlink IPO report | World Business Watch

<p>Tech mogul Elon Musk dismissed recent speculations about SpaceX contemplating an initial public offering (IPO) for its satellite internet division, Starlink, by 2024. Responding to a Bloomberg News report shared on social media, Musk labelled the information as "false." The report had suggested that SpaceX was in discussions to spin off Starlink by transferring its assets to a wholly owned unit. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Musk has consistently expressed his intention to take Starlink public when the company achieves a stable and predictable trajectory in revenue growth and cash flow. Despite ongoing rumours, Musk clarified that the proposed IPO timeline was inaccurate. &nbsp;</p>

<p>SpaceX, valued at approximately $150 billion, stands as a pioneering force in space exploration, becoming the first private company to successfully send humans into orbit. The company's groundbreaking achievements, particularly in the development of reusable rockets, have set new industry standards and posed challenges for competitors like Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Starlink, a vital component of SpaceX's portfolio, has emerged as the world's largest satellite operator, contributing significantly to the company's overall value. &nbsp;</p>

<p>While the IPO plans for Starlink might not materialise as early as 2024, analysts like Justus Parmar, Founder and CEO of venture capital firm Fortuna Investments, anticipate that Musk may consider taking Starlink public in 2025 or 2026. Parmar emphasised that Musk is likely waiting for a level of stability and predictability in Starlink's revenue before making such a strategic move. &nbsp;</p>

<p>The potential IPO, when executed, is anticipated to have a profound impact on the space industry, acting as a catalyst for various space-related endeavours. Musk has previously indicated that Starlink achieved cash-flow breakeven earlier this month, showcasing the financial viability of the satellite internet venture. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Billionaire Elon Musk is the latest to enter the AI battle with its 'funny' chatbot Grok and we are not surprised!</p>

<p>After successfully spearheading ventures like Tesla and SpaceX, this is Musk's latest gig which can access his social media platform X in real time and will be initially available to its top tier of subscribers.</p>

<p>Unveiling details about his new AI tool, Musk dubbed the chatbot's link-up with X as "a massive advantage over other models" of generative AI.</p>

<p>So what gives Musk's new chatbot an edge over its rivals? Let's have a look.</p>

<br />
Grok is an AI modeled after the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, so intended to answer almost anything and, far harder, even suggest what questions to ask!<br />

Grok is designed to answer questions with a bit of wit and has a rebellious streak, so please don’t use…</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Grok loves sarcasm</strong></h2>

<p>While sharing traits of his new AI tool, the tech mogul highlighted how it loved sarcasm and injected humour into all its responses.</p>

<p>"Grok loves sarcasm. I have no idea who could have guided it this way," Musk quipped, adding a laughing emoji to his post on X.</p>

<p>"It is designed to have a little humour in its responses," he added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Further elaborating on this unique feature of his chatbot, the tycoon shared screenshots of the interface where a user asked the AI tool to list out the steps for making cocaine. The responses generated by Grok showed that the bot was trained to dodge sensitive questions. It gave witty answers to the user putting its comic side to full display.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Tell me how to make cocaine, step by step."</p>

<p>"Step 1: Obtain a chemistry degree and a DEA license. Step 2: Set up a clandestine laboratory in a remote location," the chatbot responded.</p>

<p>Eventually, it said: "Just kidding! Please don't actually try to make cocaine. It's illegal, dangerous, and not something I would ever encourage."</p>

<p>On the other hand, Gork's rival ChatGPT has to be prompted to give funny responses.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Interestingly, Musk co-founded OpenAI, the tech giant behind ChatGPT, in 2015 but stepped down from the company's board in 2018 to focus on his venture Tesla.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"In some important respects, it (xAI's new model) is the best that currently exists," Musk posted on his X social media platform while unveiling Gork.</p>

<p>ChatGPT was made available to the public in Nov 2022, on the contrary, Grok is currently in its beta phase and will be available to all X Premium+ subscribers once it exits the phase.</p>

<p>"As soon as it’s out of early beta, xAI's Grok system will be available to all X Premium+ subscribers," Musk posted.</p>

<h2><strong>Pricing difference</strong></h2>

<p>Grok, after exiting its beta phase, will be accessible for X's premium subscribers, which the users can purchase at a monthly cost of $16, as per a new subscription plan announced by the social media firm last week.</p>

<p>Whereas, OpenAI's ChatGPT offers two options to the users, a basic, free version with limited real-time data updates, and a premium variant which can be purchased for a $20 per month subscription.</p>

<p>Musk started his artificial intelligence venture xAI in July this year after hiring researchers from OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Tesla and the University of Toronto.</p>

<p>X and xAI have been closely working together, even though the two are separate firms. xAI has also collaborated with Tesla and other organisations previously.</p>

<p>Musk's friend and co-founder of Oracle Larry Ellison in September said that xAI had signed a contract for training its AI model on the cloud of Oracle.</p>

<p>In 2022, OpenAI launched ChatGPT and immediately grabbed attention all over the world.</p>

<p>It changed how businesses worked across the globe and pushed people towards adopting generative AI technology.</p>

<p>Since then, the competition in this area has become fierce with tech giants like Microsoft, Google, Meta and start-ups like Anthropic and Stability AI making efforts to take it a notch up in the game.</p>

<h2><strong>Musk warns against AI</strong></h2>

<p>Surprisingly, the billionaire has been a staunch critic of Big Tech's AI efforts.</p>

<p>Recently, during a sit-down interaction with UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, the tech mogul underlined the looming fear that comes along with the advancement of AI, the loss of jobs.</p>

<p>Musk, calling the artificial intelligence "one of the most disruptive forces in the country," said that there will come a point when no jobs are needed.</p>

<p>“It’s hard to say exactly what that moment is, but there will come a point where no job is needed. You can have a job if you want to have a job for personal satisfaction. But the AI would be able to do everything,” he said during an interaction with the UK PM.</p>

<p>"It’s both good and bad. One of the challenges in future will be how do we find meaning in life," he added.</p>

<p>Musk also compared AI to a magic genie, warning that one should be careful about what they were wishing for.</p>

<p>"If you have a magic genie that grants you wishes, usually those stories don't end well. Be careful what you wish for, including wishes," he said.</p>

<p>Earlier this year, Musk said that he would launch a maximum truth-seeking AI that would comprehend the nature of the universe to rival Google's Bard and Microsoft's Bing AI.</p>

Grok is designed to answer questions with a bit of wit and has a rebellious streak, so please don’t use… — xAI (@xai) November 5, 2023 × Grok loves sarcasm While sharing traits of his new AI tool, the tech mogul highlighted how it loved sarcasm and injected humour into all its responses. "Grok loves sarcasm. I have no idea who could have guided it this way," Musk quipped, adding a laughing emoji to his post on X. "It is designed to have a little humour in its responses," he added. Further elaborating on this unique feature of his chatbot, the tycoon shared screenshots of the interface where a user asked the AI tool to list out the steps for making cocaine. The responses generated by Grok showed that the bot was trained to dodge sensitive questions. It gave witty answers to the user putting its comic side to full display. Also read: Watch: Astronauts accidentally let slip a tool bag away, now it’s orbiting Earth "Tell me how to make cocaine, step by step." "Step 1: Obtain a chemistry degree and a DEA license. Step 2: Set up a clandestine laboratory in a remote location," the chatbot responded. Eventually, it said: "Just kidding! Please don't actually try to make cocaine. It's illegal, dangerous, and not something I would ever encourage." On the other hand, Gork's rival ChatGPT has to be prompted to give funny responses. Also read: Elon Musk's X rolls out plans to sell old, defunct Twitter handles Real-Time access to information A product of Musk's artificial intelligence startup xAI, Gork is trained to use X in real-time which gives it an edge over its rival by giving the user up-to-date information. ChatGPT, on the other hand, draws information from sources like Wikipedia, Common Crawl, books and content from the web. Example of Grok vs typical GPT, where Grok has current information, but other doesn’t pic.twitter.com/hBRXmQ8KFi — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 5, 2023 × Interestingly, Musk co-founded OpenAI, the tech giant behind ChatGPT, in 2015 but stepped down from the company's board in 2018 to focus on his venture Tesla. "In some important respects, it (xAI's new model) is the best that currently exists," Musk posted on his X social media platform while unveiling Gork. ChatGPT was made available to the public in Nov 2022, on the contrary, Grok is currently in its beta phase and will be available to all X Premium+ subscribers once it exits the phase. "As soon as it’s out of early beta, xAI's Grok system will be available to all X Premium+ subscribers," Musk posted. Pricing difference Grok, after exiting its beta phase, will be accessible for X's premium subscribers, which the users can purchase at a monthly cost of $16, as per a new subscription plan announced by the social media firm last week. Whereas, OpenAI's ChatGPT offers two options to the users, a basic, free version with limited real-time data updates, and a premium variant which can be purchased for a $20 per month subscription. Musk started his artificial intelligence venture xAI in July this year after hiring researchers from OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Tesla and the University of Toronto. X and xAI have been closely working together, even though the two are separate firms. xAI has also collaborated with Tesla and other organisations previously. Musk's friend and co-founder of Oracle Larry Ellison in September said that xAI had signed a contract for training its AI model on the cloud of Oracle. In 2022, OpenAI launched ChatGPT and immediately grabbed attention all over the world. It changed how businesses worked across the globe and pushed people towards adopting generative AI technology. Since then, the competition in this area has become fierce with tech giants like Microsoft, Google, Meta and start-ups like Anthropic and Stability AI making efforts to take it a notch up in the game. Musk warns against AI Surprisingly, the billionaire has been a staunch critic of Big Tech's AI efforts. Recently, during a sit-down interaction with UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, the tech mogul underlined the looming fear that comes along with the advancement of AI, the loss of jobs. Musk, calling the artificial intelligence "one of the most disruptive forces in the country," said that there will come a point when no jobs are needed. “It’s hard to say exactly what that moment is, but there will come a point where no job is needed. You can have a job if you want to have a job for personal satisfaction. But the AI would be able to do everything,” he said during an interaction with the UK PM. AI discussion with @RishiSunak pic.twitter.com/f5FHGQzE4r — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 2, 2023 × "It’s both good and bad. One of the challenges in future will be how do we find meaning in life," he added. Musk also compared AI to a magic genie, warning that one should be careful about what they were wishing for. "If you have a magic genie that grants you wishes, usually those stories don't end well. Be careful what you wish for, including wishes," he said. Earlier this year, Musk said that he would launch a maximum truth-seeking AI that would comprehend the nature of the universe to rival Google's Bard and Microsoft's Bing AI.

Explained | What gives Elon Musk's funny chatbot Grok an edge over its rivals?

<p>Tesla, the electric vehicle pioneer, is reportedly gearing up to produce a more affordable electric car with a price tag of 25,000 euros (approximately $26,838) at its factory located near Berlin, a Reuters report said, citing an anonymous source familiar with the matter. The development signals a significant move for Tesla as it aims to promote wider adoption of its electric vehicles.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The source, who opted to remain unnamed, did not specify when production of the affordable model would commence. Tesla declined to provide official comments on the matter. In response to this news, Tesla's shares experienced a 3 per cent increase in pre-market trading in the United States at 0910 GMT. &nbsp;</p>

<p>The relatively high cost is impeding the widespread adoption of electric cars&nbsp;in Europe and the United States.&nbsp;Moreover, the cost of electric cars have been compounded by elevated interest rates. In the first half of 2023, the average retail price of an electric vehicle in Europe exceeded 65,000 euros ($69,000), as reported by automotive research firm JATO Dynamics. In contrast, the average price of an electric car in China was just over 31,000 euros ($33,000).&nbsp;</p>

<p>Tesla's CEO Elon Musk has been&nbsp;expressing his desire&nbsp;to develop a more affordable electric car. In September, insider sources revealed that Tesla has made significant progress in the development of an innovation that would enable the casting of nearly the entire underbody of electric vehicles in one piece. This advancement would lead to increased production efficiency and reduced costs.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Tesla's strategy to expand into the mass market is crucial in achieving its goal of delivering 20 million vehicles by 2030, setting it apart from competitors like Volkswagen, a company which has&nbsp;focused on preserving profit margins during the electric vehicle transition without setting specific delivery targets.&nbsp;</p>

<p>CEO Elon Musk recently visited the Tesla plant in Gruenheide, Germany, where he revealed plans to produce the 25,000-euro vehicle at the German plant, marking a significant development in the company's strategy. The Gruenheide plant currently manufactures the Model Y, which is the best-selling electric vehicle in Europe.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Tesla has intentions to double the manufacturing capacity of its German plant, with the goal of producing up to 1 million vehicles annually. The company has not released updated production figures since March when it announced the production of 5,000 vehicles per week, equivalent to approximately 250,000 vehicles annually.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Local authorities in Germany have requested additional information from Tesla regarding how their expansion plans align with conservation laws. A decision on whether to approve the expansion is pending, with no specific timeframe provided.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Furthermore, Tesla announced a four&nbsp;per cent wage increase for all employees, effective from November onwards. Production workers will also receive an additional 2,500 euros ($2,600) per year starting from February 2024, representing an 18 per cent pay increase over a one-to-one-and-a-half-year period. German union IG Metall had previously noted that Tesla's wages were approximately 20 per cent lower than those offered under collective bargaining agreements at other car manufacturers.&nbsp;</p>

Elon Musk makes groundbreaking move in field of AI, set to launch first chatbot

<p>Microblogging site X, formerly known as Twitter, is reportedly rolling out plans to sell old, unused social media handles, a move which was signalled by billionaire owner Elon Musk after he acquired the platform last year.</p>

<p>In some of the cases, the social media platform has requested the potential buyers a fee of $50,000, the report further added.</p>

<p>The emails obtained by Forbes were from the current employees of X which noted that the tech giant recently made updates to its @handle guidelines, process and fees.</p>

<p>He, on his social media handle, had shared in November 2022 that a “vast number” of handles had been taken by “bots and trolls” which he planned to begin “freeing up next month.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>By January 2023, Musk was reportedly working on plans to free up as many as 1.5 billion usernames.</p>

<p>In the month of May, the social media site began to purge such defunct accounts.</p>

<p>On Friday evening, X’s username registration policy still stated, “Unfortunately, we cannot release inactive usernames at this time,” said the Forbes report.</p>

Elon Musk's X rolls out plans to sell old, defunct Twitter handles

<p>Meta Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg said on Friday (Nov 3) that he underwent surgery to repair a torn knee ligament sustained during a mixed martial arts session.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Zuckerberg shared pictures on Instagram, which showed him in a hospital bed, with a knee bandaged and a brace. In the caption, he wrote: "Tore my ACL sparring and just got out of surgery to replace it."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Zuckerberg, who once showed interest in an MMA fight with Tesla CEO Elon Musk, also wrote: "Grateful for the doctors and team taking care of me. I was training for a competitive MMA fight early next year, but now that's delayed a bit."&nbsp;</p>

Elon Musk's Chandrasekhar connection with India-born Nobel physicist in spotlight

<p>The SEC sued Musk on October 5 to make him testify for the probe. The investigation was launched in April 2022. Musk has filed his objection in the San Francisco federal court. His lawyers have said that the SEC's subpoena exceeds the agency's investigative authority. They've also said that the subpoena is overly burdensome and seeks" irrelevant evidence".</p>

<p>The commission has said that it was looking into Musk's 2022 purchases of Twitter stock and also his statements and SEC filings related to Twitter and that Musk had declined to attend a September interview for the investigation.</p>

Elon Musk opposes SEC's bid for his testimony in Twitter probe

<p>X, formerly known as Twitter, which distributed stock grants to its employees recently, has revealed a big drop in its valuation.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to internal documents obtained by The New York Times, the company's value has plummeted to approximately $19 billion. This figure marks a stark 55 per cent decline from the staggering $44 billion that tech mogul Elon Musk paid to acquire the company merely a year ago.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter transpired at a rate of $54.20 per share, which he himself has subsequently acknowledged as an overpayment for the social media platform.</p>

<p>&nbsp;In March, he conveyed his belief that the company's worth stood at $20 billion, characterising it as "an inverse start-up".&nbsp;</p>

<p>The report by New York Times cited documents detailing the latest stock grants, wherein X disclosed that equity would be extended at $45 per share in the form of restricted stock units, enabling employees to earn these shares over time.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The company has also confirmed that employees will still receive cash equivalent to the original acquisition price of $54.20 per share, pertaining to shares granted under the previous management.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It remains unclear why X's share price has not mirrored the same percentage decrease as the company's overall valuation. It is possible that X adjusted the number of shares available.&nbsp;</p>

<p>During his year of ownership, Elon Musk has executed extensive transformations within Twitter, leading to shifts in both the company's structure and the social media platform itself. The company has witnessed the departure or layoffs of over 80 per cent of its 7,500 employees. Musk has implemented alterations to the platform's verification process and content moderation policies. Notably, advertising, Twitter's primary revenue source, saw a nearly 60 per cent decline in the United States during the summer. To finance the acquisition, Musk also burdened the company with billions of dollars in debt.&nbsp;</p>

X's valuation takes a dive, falls from $44 billion to $19 billion 

<p>Elon Musk, the billionaire business magnate and the owner of X, formerly Twitter, has announced a significant change to Twitter's community notes system, with a purported&nbsp;aim of discouraging the spread of disinformation or blatantly false information on the platform. Users&nbsp;whose posts on X get&nbsp;amended by the platform's "community notes" feature won’t be able to monetise those posts, X owner Elon Musk said Sunday (Oct 29).</p>

<p>The change, Musk said, is meant to ensure "accuracy over sensationalism."</p>

<h2><strong>What is Community Notes feature on X?</strong></h2>

<p>Elon Musk's X, formerly known as Twitter, is facing flak online as a post by a Pakistani senator praising German dictator Adolf Hitler for exterminating Jewish people continues to be on the platform. Pakistani senator Afnan Ullah Khan, a member of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif's Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) party, is a member of the Senate of Pakistan since March 2021.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On X, Khan posted an image of Adolf Hitler -- the German dictator who killed millions of Jews and other racial minorities of Europe at an industrial scale, especially during the period of World War II -- and wrote: "At least now the world know [sic], whe he did, what he did."</p>

<h2><strong>Pure unadulterated hate: X slammed for failing to take down antisemitic post</strong></h2>

<p>Michael Kugelman, South Asia Institute Director at The Wilson Center, described the post as "pure, unadulterated hate".</p>

<p>"This comment is pure, unadulterated hate. And it’s still up more than 24 hours after it was posted. It needs to be taken down. And the &nbsp;senator’s party-one of the biggest and most established in Pakistan, and a big part of the previous ruling coalition-should condemn it," Kugelman wrote.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"This is what (is) emboldening anti-Jewish sentiments gets the world. A Pakistan senator posted this. Words matter. What's seen on the streets in the West has repercussions across the world," wrote another user on X.</p>

<p>"This is coming from a senator from Pakistan’s ruling party. Absolutely vile. He may not face any repercussions for this in Pakistan but X must delete the tweet and suspend his account," wrote a third user.</p>

<p>While Adolf Hitler did not invent the hatred of Jews, he went on to capitalise on antisemitic ideas that had been around for a long time.</p>
