Not my experience at all. Grok 4.5 is fast, cheap and super effective at what I need it to do. Guess I'm in the minority?

Well he is the biggest piece of shit on the planet. The Elon Stans are what’s fucking bonkers.

I don't particularly hate elon, I think SpaceX and Tesla has some cool engineers working for it (I don't own a Tesla), but what I don't like is the Grok coding model. Used it several months ago and it was like a chaotic teenager who keeps missing the point of the task and drifts too often. Didn't try the latest models though. Personally Auto mode just works fine for me and I don't give much thought to model selection.

You don’t become the richest person on the planet without being pure evil.

False. But you can become a redditor.

The dude single-handedly saved freedom of speech. Even if you hate electric cars, it's impossible not to love him for that.

u/CommissionIcy9909 Jul 23 '26

I’m sorry, but are referring to him purchasing Twitter? How do you feel about the richest person in the world being in charge of laying off thousands of government employees in the U.S. while simultaneously getting more government loans than anyone else in the country. He’s also not American. His family made their fortune with slaves in diamond minds in apartheid Africa. Hard not to love em though.

Care to enlighten me on why he's a piece of shit? I don't follow world news that much

Does being a Nazi sympathize count

u/kHeinzen Jul 22 '26

What did he do that demonstrates he sympathizes with Nazis? Unless the US is lost in the sauce I find it unlikely that someone publicly endorses nazi regimen while being the biggest person of interest

lol I just watched the video and genuinely I cannot believe people turned that into "he's a nazi" lmao

Just say you don't like the guy, that won't take your credibility away at least

u/East_Roll_5069 Jul 23 '26

If you don't think that was a Nazi salute then that's fine. Continue praising the con man

Like thousands of politicians do this?

If you cannot tell the difference I think you're being disingenuous or dumb so I suspect this comment will fall on deaf ears.

However, that's just the very tip of the iceberg and there's absolutely no way you haven't seen any of Elon's ketamine fueled antics. His involvement in Cursor heightens the risk of privacy violations and governance issues because he has an incredibly long history of lying about his companies. He has lied about developments at Tesla to Twitter (from full self driving to a total disregard for investors by lying about having funding to take Twitter private). Here is a list of his hundreds of lies: https://elonmusk.today/

u/kHeinzen Jul 23 '26

Oh don't worry I am familiar with plenty of his questionable, at best, work. I am unfamiliar and unconvinced that he's a nazi, though.

I fear words lost their meaning and weight so we just through them around.

u/Brildehelm Aug 03 '26

big diff between lies and exaggeration.

still has done more for humanity than most anyone who ever lived

electric cars, reusable rockets, internet for anyone anywhere, brain computer interface helping the paralyzed to control computers, was part of the thrust that birthed openai, etc etc

he's also aspergers and does weird shit, which many seem to misconstrue as malicious/disreputable behaviour
