People can simultaeneously be reprehensible idiots while being a reliable expert on something they have personally invested billions of dollars into and operate at scale.
- awkwardpotato 5mo agoHe's also invested billions of dollars in SpaceX and Tesla... which he regularly makes wild claims about that are untrue.

- amanaplanacanal 5mo agoI'm not saying he actually is an expert, but he could be an expert and still lie for any number of reasons.
- stymaar 5mo agoElon is a specialist of lying about stuff he invested billions in to make it look more valuable than it is (he's been doing that for Tesla for years). It's not a lack of expertise, it's the lack of any sense of integrity (and self respect). He's lagging the AI race despite having tons of compute available, so he tries to make a narrative about how it's not that the model is behind, it's just smaller than the competition.
