The goal is to create hundreds of specialized coding and generative AI agents. 'It should be possible to simulate [Microsoft] entirely with AI,' Musk says.

Mecha Hitler backer of AfD, and "Pardon Derek Chauvin to instigate riots so that we can finally genocide the blacks in America" is hurting auto sales for Tesla.

Stock price is still very high, because self driving could work (it's late, behind competition, and underwhelming), humanoid robots could work. He's also been doing BS transactions between companies he controls to inflate both stock (private market) values, and that BS could expand to Tesla.

There are several problems with this announcement:

  1. it is a distraction because every other objective is failing. There needs to be a new moonshot announced so that you don't dump Tesla shares, because you should trust him this time that the new moonshot will be achieved.

  2. Copying Office 365, or improving it, will have new/different bugs for a long time. Unclear why anyone would buy it if the main reason it's still used is legacy dependencies that worked around any current bugs.

  3. MSFT spying will be (naively) trusted more than MechaHitler spying. Corporate AI in service to US military supremacy and Skynet control over the world is bad for Americans too. Future AI acceptance will not be US mega tech led acceptance. A marketing fight over which company hates Americans the most will harm both brands.

  4. OpenOffice is pretty good for free. An open source local toolchain can add trusted AI integration.
