 Too many people have given Elon a pass. Don't give him a pass.

 I agree with this. Elon gets subsidies on car sales but guess what, the oil and gas industry globally gets a trillion dollars in subsidies annually. I don’t like the subsidy argument.

Elon builds good tech, and he IS an engineer. Where he goes fatally wrong though is his insistence on building on the legacy model of centralized surveillance capitalism. 
 Grok is closed source and requires fiat payment, ie it has total surveillance built-in. That is a very dangerous path for strong AI that Elon should know better about. Like I said, imo, insistence on centralization and surveillance tech, if not his downfall, will be the downfall of humanity into digital slavery. This irony make me disbelieve anything he says regarding his supposed giving a shit about the future of humanity.
