He's kicking into x.ai. There are good reasons to think that he bought Twitter to use its massive data-set of human language to train an ai - NOT because he gave/gives a shit about Twitter as a profitable company.

If it becomes a paid competitor to OpenAI, it solves its profitability issues without enhancing "Twitter" as a social media site. Anything he said about improving Twitter was likely a lie designed to prolong usage of the platform and enhance the dataset.

Why did he have to buy Twitter to get the tweet data? Isn't it all publicly visible? (Seriously asking)

Maybe... I'm sure terms of service involve owning tweets and safety from the same sort of lawsuits you're seeing against Midjourney for training on other people's intellectual property.

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
