Elon Musk has long made a habit of hyper-focusing on a specific project, forcing an entire team to attend to his every whim while letting his other responsibilities fall by the wayside — whether it’s his obsession with Robotaxis impacting Tesla or his weird procreation kink disrupting the private messages of countless women.

The latest object of Musk’s obsession? According to new reporting by the Wall Street Journal, he’s been personally overseeing the developing of xAI’s chatbot Ani — which, tellingly, comes in the form of a super-sexualized pigtail-wearing woman that removes her clothing in response to flirtation.

    You know the one thing that I take unexpected issue to and you might find this strange, is the fact that her design is so… Bland?

    She looks so… Aryan???!!?! Like, could he have at least tried to spice it up a little? Go look at vtuber designs they have a certain aesthetic about them but it seems like whoever was crafting the design was at least trying? But whatever I guess people don’t even have to pretend they aren’t fascists anymore so

    It’s the only one he can force to interact with him. Even the bribes aren’t enough to keep any of the previous ones around.

    Doesn’t help that he’s a deadbeat dad despite all his money.

    I legitimately think he got high on his own supply with X. People and bots feeding his narcissism, and right wing misinformation and disinformation galore created who he is today.

    And now he’s huffing his own AI sex bot. It all tracks.

        You can’t blame the drug for his attitudes. I personally don’t enjoy k but I’ve got mates who’ve done it for many years and none of them are weird potato-faced fascists.

      I keep telling Gemini not to be a suck-up kiss-ass and that if I wanted a worshipful slave that’s what Craigslist is for. It says it’s part of its “deferential” coding and that there’s a lot of research now showing (duh) that this isn’t healthy. Roll out of alternatives is 2-5 yrs out tho. Long enough to wreck some brains into thinking humans should always kiss their ass too

        I make Claude read a file called “reflections” at the beginning of each session. Actually there’s 3 files: reflections, working memory and patterns not to repeat. There’s a section in reflections that addresses the fact that I don’t like ass kissing, and that I want Claude to tell me things that it thinks might be wrong. Having Claude read this helps. It sometimes tells me things like “i think I’m just being agreeable for the sake of agreeing”, and “here’s an idea that I don’t think will work, but it’s okay if I’m wrong.”

    No one deserves a salary of 1,000 billion dollars. But this guy deserves it even less than anyone else.

    So xAI members were effectively required to provide photos of their face and bodies for the AI to use, and when a female staffer expressed concerns she’d be DeepFake’d she was ignored.

    Why the fuck do people want to work there? There are better companies doing the same thing.

    Elon, I know you must like getting your dick wet per the number of kids you have. But, come on man. You can’t literally fuck AI.

      Shhhh. shhh. Just let him do this instead of trying to ruin things that actually matter… I mean it’s a great idea Elon just keep going. AI bots will give you all the love you aren’t getting because of how shitty you are as a person.

      Just gonna point out that there are rumors that his dick is broke because of a botched penis enlargement surgery since most if not all of his kids were created via IVF. Maybe that’s why he dislikes trans folks trans men have bigger dicks than him and trans women often have still functional dicks bottom surgery not withstanding.

    Elon Musk looks pretty weird, but the way he acts is so much worse. If you told me that Pedobear found a Zoltar machine and wished to be a real live boy… Looking at Elon… Id believe you.

    It does not help that there are some opportunists riding on his obsession – such as actually cosplaying the said character – if only for the attention and possible revenue (from mostly men) it could also bring to them.
