What a sad pathetic little man he is. At least the only people Grok has influence over are already paste munching troglodytes.

Should ask Grok when the best era for innovation was for Tesla.

I like the idea of the America party being real because the margins are so close between Republicans and Democrats in their elections, and elons party would take away mostly republican votes

I don't see any evidence that Elon cares anything about what happens to the Republican party. I don't even think Trump cares.

Elon is pretty disillusioned in thinking he has the finger on the pulse of the 80% of the middle of America. His DOGE work was very unpopular.

He pretty much would just have the support of the Tea Party types, but a lot of them don't like him.

They could gain some power by running 10-20 house candidates in districts they can win by going after heavy red district that are disillusioned with the Republicans spending too much money.

If they could control the balance of power in the house, they would have an out-sized amount of power to push their agenda.

I don’t see anyone saying that either…

He will end up in a box before it happens.

Grok was referring to itself as MechaHitler earlier today.

The world has lost it's ever loving mind.

On one side you have woke, and the other you have nazi, and I guess Grok must land somewhere in between those two points.

They wouldn't need to create a Nazi AI if the progressive left didn't insist on pronouns. You can see how this is their fault, the pendulum swings again
