The more he speaks, the more apparent it is that he had no idea what he is talking about.

Legends say that if you put your source code file in Grok, it'll print out the code and it'll land on Elon's desk.

Elon will browse through it and pretend to understand it, then tweet out insults and emojis and says you're fired. Even though you were never employed by him anyway.

I've been saying for a long time (since the 2010s tech boom). There's needs to be a new term the public lexicon termed "poptech" or popular technology. In the same vein has popsci.

The technology anyone knows anymore is oversimplified for general audiences. These days is almost always imparting wrong understanding.

The industry has been rife with grifters. If people catch on then the bottomless pit of funding will become very shallow.
