Some have questioned Elon's choice to invest heavily in Grok Imagine early (eg before coding models) It makes sense if you consider his love for the fundamental freedom of expression Hollywood and the streaming platforms have had a monopoly on production and distribution. They are, in all functional ways, a cultural propaganda engine. Every civilization needs one. But who owns it? Very soon, you will. You could say it was technically inevitable that AI video would get good enough to be enjoyable. But it only *felt* inevitable recently when I saw 1) the Spencer Pratt AI election ads which were actually funny and 2) the Sweet Land music video by @heavypulp which was actually poignant (enough so that I listened/watched 4x) AI images are already really good, but they aren't nearly as powerful. Movies are the most potent cultural propaganda tool of all time, but AI has sucked at them. Not anymore. Grok Imagine + a talented creator is now producing content good enough to enjoy without asterisks. The AI version of the Odyssey, no matter how long and expensive it is to produce, will be 3+ orders of magnitude (1000x) less expensive than Nolan's Which means that nearly everyone will be able to try. And based on this short clip, the output will actually be good. Frankly it doesn't even have to be perfect. As long as it is good, the damage to the existing power structure will be done. A solo creator with a vision will be able to singlehandedly put out work that is *actually enjoyable*, direct to the public, with literally no physical overhead. The cultural landscape will change really quickly. Individual people can express a vision in the most powerful medium yet discovered, unadulterated by tastemasters at the studios. We're at the rubicon, about to cross over. The propaganda engine will become distributed to the people, and the outcomes will be judged purely on resonance. This was Elon's point, in my opinion.

.@tekbog and @basedjensen on why they think Anthropic's cyber risk argument against open source AI is actually just about monopoly: @tekbog: "I'm kind of skeptical. Yeah, they just want the market and the monopoly. They want everyone to be fearful and they're pumping their numbers. That's my personal opinion of course." "I think it's good that these models can be weaponized to some degree because a lot of cybersecurity is really bad. It's a very good wake up call to systems engineers to get your sh*t together." @basedjensen: "It's a double-edged kind of thing. Yes, there is some risks. But I think there's a bigger risk having a small group of people having access to this while the defenders do not have anything." "If the defenders can actually come in and scan the code and quickly patch things up, that would mitigate the risks much better than having Glasswing or a small Chinese set of companies accessing these cyber capabilities." "It's rather better to democratize and enable everybody than to hide the capabilities. At some point or the other, it's going to leak. It's better to be patched up and take the pain now than later."

Elon Musk just said the one thing about America they made sure you’d never learn. The one thing that should’ve made you proud, not ashamed. Musk: “After World War 2, the US could have basically taken over the world and any country. Like we got nukes, nobody else got nukes. We don’t even have to lose soldiers. Which country do you want?” One nation held a weapon no civilization had ever possessed. Total monopoly on destruction. No rival. No consequence. No limit. Every empire in history that held that kind of power did the only thing empires know how to do. They took until there was nothing left to take. America had a greater advantage than all of them combined. And rebuilt the nations it just defeated. Musk: “The United States actually helped rebuild countries. So it helped rebuild Europe, it helped rebuild Japan. This is very unusual behavior, almost unprecedented.” Not almost unprecedented. It had never happened. Not once in 5,000 years of recorded civilization. The nation with the power to take everything chose to rebuild instead. Enemies became allies. Rubble became economies. Surrender became partnership. Germany went from ashes to the economic engine of Europe in a single generation. Japan went from unconditional surrender to the third largest economy on earth. Three years after the war, America was flying food into Berlin. Into the capital of the country that just tried to end the free world. That decision reshaped every economy, every alliance, and every trade route on the planet. Billions of people lifted out of poverty over the next half century trace back to one moment. One nation choosing restraint over domination. No other country in history can make that claim. Not one. Musk: “There’s always like, well America’s done bad things. Well of course America’s done bad things, but one needs to look at the whole track record.” Every nation on earth has blood in its history. But the measure of a nation was never its worst chapter. It’s what it does when nobody can stop it. When nobody could stop America, it fed its enemies and rebuilt their cities. You’re being told every day that this country is something to be ashamed of. By people who have no idea what the world looks like without it. Every free market. Every open border for trade. Every democracy that took root outside Europe stands in the shadow of that single decision. The values that built this country didn’t just shape America. They shaped the modern world. AI is about to hand a small number of people a power advantage that makes nuclear monopoly look primitive. 1945 was the first test. AI is the last. That power is going to exist. The only question left is who holds it. The most powerful thing America ever did wasn’t building the bomb. It was having the power to take everything and choosing not to. The people trying hardest to tear that story down have never built a single thing worth defending.

Elon Musk just put a price tag on obedience. It costs $200,000. Musk: “You don’t need college to learn stuff. Everything is available basically for free. You can learn anything you want for free.” Every lecture. Every textbook. Every framework ever written. Free on any screen in any country right now. The entire knowledge monopoly collapsed in a decade. Nobody updated the price tag. Musk: “Colleges are basically for fun and to prove you can do your chores. But they’re not for learning.” Strip the ivy and the branding. What’s underneath is a four-year obedience trial. Can this person follow instructions on a schedule without asking why. Musk: “There is a value that colleges have, which is seeing whether somebody can work hard at something, including a bunch of annoying homework assignments, and still do their homework assignments.” That is the entire six-figure value proposition. Not what you know. Not what you can build. Whether you can be managed. The establishment doesn’t need you educated. It needs you domesticated. Musk: “If you’re trying to do something exceptional, you must have evidence of exceptional ability. I don’t consider going to college evidence of exceptional ability.” The system doesn’t produce exceptional. It produces manageable. It takes the most creative years of your life and teaches you to wait for instructions. That is not education. That is containment. Musk: “Gates is a pretty smart guy, he dropped out. Jobs is pretty smart, he dropped out. Larry Ellison, smart guy, he dropped out.” They didn’t leave because they couldn’t keep up. They left because the ceiling was underground. 8 billion people now carry the same library in their pocket. The one these institutions charged a lifetime of debt to access. The only product the university still sells is the belief that you need one.

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump signs an order to STOP people from being arrested or targeted for FIXING THEIR VEHICLE, giving the “right to fix” Common sense! This also breaks up a California-based monopoly on 3rd party car parts certification, per Lee Zeldin 👏🏻 TRUMP: “It came to my attention because I noticed they were arresting people for fixing their car. They were arresting people for fixing it. That's not even believable!”

Your kids are retarded while you pay higher taxes because Democrats bought the teachers unions as a permanent ally to stay in power. Jimmy Carter created the Department of Education just to lock in the NEA’s first ever presidential endorsement. That’s it. He just wanted their votes. Democrats protect the monopoly by killing real school choice, piling on federal mandates that bloat the bureaucracy, and pushing trillions through a system built to resist accountability. In return, the unions deliver the votes, ground game, and hundreds of millions in political spending with some 98% routinely going to Democrats. Democrats give taxpayer money to the unions and then the unions launder it back to the Democrats’ election campaigns. Taxpayer-funded Democratic party campaigns, basically. From 2000 to 2017, school district admin staff grew 75% while teachers grew just 8%. Non-teaching staff now make up nearly half the workforce. That explosion creates more dues paying jobs and political muscle while shielding the whole thing from competition. The alliance keeps the power. Unions and Democrats get the resources and the jobs. Your kids and your wallet get the bill. That is limited options and stagnant results. And the best thing is that the Republicans watched it happen for decades and did nothing.

THIS is why legacy media attacks Elon Musk every single day. THIS is why they push fake news against him. THIS is why they brainwash people against him. THIS is why they keep using his name for clicks. MEDIA IS NO LONGER RELEVANT. 𝕏 HAS TAKEN OVER. Elon Musk destroyed their monopoly. The people chose truth.

Legacy media is now pushing another narrative: “Virtually all of Elon Musk’s wealth came from government help.” This is completely false. Government contracts are not subsidies. SpaceX wins contracts because it offers the best product at the lowest price. NASA pays SpaceX for real launches, real cargo missions, and real astronaut transport, not charity. SpaceX is expected to get less than 5% of its revenue from NASA this year. Add up every government incentive Tesla and SpaceX have ever received, and it is still less than 2% of the value of Tesla and SpaceX. Tesla did not become the world’s most valuable car company because of tax credits. It became huge because it built better EVs, better software, better batteries, and the best charging network. And when the $7,500 EV tax credit was removed, Tesla sales increased. The real reason they’re obsessed with Elon Musk is that he exposed how irrelevant they have become. People no longer wait for newspaper editors, TV anchors, or corporate journalists to tell them the truth. Legacy media lost its monopoly on information. Now all they have left is clickbait, outrage, and anti-Elon narratives. And that’s exactly why the trust in media is at an all time low.
