NP. One of the reasons Musk went after USAID is because they were investigating him. But another reason is USAID was sponsoring ChatGPT for FedRAMP. Musk hates Altman.

Why does USAID investigate anyone? Agree that giving a private company information to use private info held in government trust is very bad. Is Musk going to go after Census data?

Contract fraud.

NP. I am far from a Musk fan, but he’s not wrong about Altman.

They’re the flip sides of the same coin. It’s ok to say they’re both terrible people. They are.

The country elected an almost 80 year old man as president. He knows nothing about anything and has proven this over and over again. Musk has free range and can do whatever he wants because Trump will be so easy to manipulate. Musk will be using words that Trump never heard before and Musk will lie to Trump about all the money he’s cutting from the budget.

Trump is a narcissist and not terribly bright. Musk is a narcissist too but also evil and a whole lot smarter than Trump.

There should be a corruption /
unfair competition lawsuit from other AI companies against DOGE and XAI for using public data to train Grok.

^”public data” as in government data, not publicly accessible data

This is going to result in a huge lawsuit and case on privacy against the Government as there was no debate or agreement from US people to this. Particular as tech companies have had to give users a choice to opt of this very thing.

And it just so happens that Musk claims Grok 3 has made massive performance leaps as of late, beating the other AI systems that Musk is jealous of:

How is this not a lawsuit?

I thought it was known he was using Grok. He’s obviously not going to use ChatGPT or other competitors. He’s probably frustrated with how crappy Grok is which is why he bid on ChatGPT.

Oh look, the AI system DOGE uses just happens to be owned by Musk’s private ventures:

How come no one asks *which* AI system DOGE feeds government information to?

How do you know this is happening?

The Musklings at DOGE are feeding vast amounts of US government information to Grok, the AI system owned by Musk. This trains Grok on a huge dataset that other AI systems don’t have access to - namely US government information. As a result, Grok obtains a competitive advantage over other commercial
AI systems.

Yet this information only goes to Grok because of Musk’s status as a government appointee. There is a massive conflict of interest because Musk also owns Grok. When a government official uses their official status to enrich themselves, this is corruption.

Don’t expect the cronies in Congress or the IG offices to do anything. But other AI businesses should sue to halt corruption from benefiting their competitors.
