The SpaceX investment is especially problematic as SpaceX has gotten $22bn government contract dollars. So depending on what money he is moving, taxpayers may be footing the bill for Grok development.

Are you aware that many companies receive billions in government contracts, and why are you concerned about this and not others e.g. amazon, MSFT, etc

  • Personally, I don't care because AWS and Azure are both extremely profitable without federal contracts.

    XAI is the dictionary definition of a blue-chip nothingburger. Nobody wants their tax dollars going towards the bailout of an AI company that can't compete on merits alone. It's a dilution of SpaceX's valuation, if nothing else.

    • Ah, so your premise is SX is unprofitable without federal contracts! and that the SOTA model, which was released before this investment, can’t “compete”
