gressively. So wherever it's introduced early and aggressively those places will die first. So that's how you know DEI is toxic because there should be a perfect correlation between how aggressive and early you were in it and how soon you die you know your organization. So imagine trying to sell MSNBC when one of your stars works one day a week for $30 million. Nobody would buy that. But why do t…

u go wow you did that. You created giant chopsticks to catch a rocket? Really? Wow. Yeah so and there are probably a dozen things I could add to the really. You put a network of satellites in the air so that everybody from these rural counties can get cheap high-speed internet? Wow. You know and I could just keep going and going and going but this little one just impresses the hell out of me if it's true that he figured out what everybody said in the industry—in the industry he wasn't in this is the other important part. In the industry he was not part of. The moment he walked in he solved their biggest problem times five. Did that really happen? I mean I want to believe it did so wow.

But on top of that Grok 3 is predicted to be the best AI sometime in maybe February because they have just monstrous hardware training that thing. So Elon Musk in theory will be the leading AI person with his products in the world in February. Now I don't know what to make of that. You know how important it is that Musk bought X because he saved free speech but what would happen to free speech if AI becomes the main way we interact with everything and the main way we get information and it was just completely censored and biased but we didn't know? How much it would be the same problem. Your free speech would be completely at risk because AI might have limitations on what it can and cannot do for you. You know it might censor you or censor itself. But now maybe the best AI would be the one that's not going to do that. So if the best AI doesn't censor you and lets you do the images you want it to do and wasn't always messing with your creative impulses then you're free.

I think Grok 3 if it really leapfrogs the competition—because the reason historically I haven't used Grok much is that it wasn't quite up to speed and we all knew that and we knew that it was going to catch up and had a good chance of surpassing but it looks like it's going to happen and wow that's really impressive.

So this would be Elon Musk saving the planet by making us into a planetary—saving the country by preserving free speech and saving the future of humanity by creating an AI that's less subject to manipulation. That's a lot of saving. That's a lot of saving. He's saving the world from climate change maybe we'll see. How many times does he need to save us? He saved the country by getting Trump electe…
