Not really. These claims has got him to a trillion dollar company and at this point any fine or suit will just be a drop in the bucket. Not to mention it financed his other ventures that are outside of Tesla and will for sure keep him so wealthy that whatever happens his claims paid off.

It is somewhat ironic that these archiving sites are what enable the massive LLM companies to get to where they are. I love the advancements of what people have accomplished but in the back of my conspiracy mind we have just enabled a few people to control a lot of information.
In every technology wave so far, we've disrupted many existing jobs. However we've also opened up new kinds of jobs. And, because it is easier to retrain humans than build machines for those jobs, we wound up with more and better jobs.
This is the first technology wave that doesn't just displace humans, but which can be trained to the new job opportunities more easily than humans can. Right now it can't replace humans for a lot of important things. But as its capabilities improve, what do displaced humans transition to?
I don't think that we have a good answer to that. And we may need it sooner rather than later. I'd be more optimistic if I trusted our leadership more. But wise political leadership is not exactly a strong point for our country right now.
It makes me wonder if we will be much more reserved with our thoughts and teachings in the future given how quickly they will be used against us.

Inflation only makes people that don't own assets poorer. People that own assets (houses and stocks) are inflation resistant.
I think this only works to a point. For example the house you own will be in a weird situation if the government debt is so big it is paying all the tax revenue to pay debt. The area will likely become less desirable as people leave to go to less debt ridden places.
I just don't think it's practical to treat a social media site like a public agency. I sympathize greatly with the author reading this story, but anyone who's moderated a public website can tell you it would be completely impossible if your most combative users could escalate to the government and demand you prove why you should be allowed to ban them.
It probably isn't practical but you could do things like limit how much of the company is owned by one person and make sure that there are not special voting shares.
Are there IR lights you can put on your license plate to block cameras from taking pictures of it?

- Microsoft’s AI-fueled $4 trillion valuation
As someone in an AI company right now - Almost every company we work with is using Azure wrapped OpenAI. We're not sure why, but that is the case.
All of their files are likely on a Microsoft store already too.
Firing your subordinates because you don't like the number they report to you is how you obliterate the functioning machinery of government.
The numbers were super wrong for June and July. It could appear that they were fired for misleading numbers from the previous months.
> one or two hit wonders
Very few are two hit. Three is incredibly rare (Steve Jobs).
Let's look at his hits:
1. Paypal
2. Tesla
3. SpaceX
4. Starlink
5. xAI
6. Neuralink (looking promising)
7. X (looking promising)
8. Boring (successful, but not a breakout success)
9. Solar City (less successful, now part of Tesla)
BTW, Jobs had his failure too - Next
By any objective measure, Musk's business success is incredible.
I'm not just making an argument. I invested in his companies, and am enjoying the returns.
Does that mean you are invested in Tesla or do you have private stakes in his other companies? Because all the other companies are separate and I feel like some people are investing in Tesla thinking they get part of SpaceX or something
People can hate as much as they want, but if getting from one part of the city to another takes 2 hours in a car and 20 minutes in a subway, people will take subway in 90% of cases.
It is too bad we don't build our public transport for speed. We always build them to be everything to everyone.
