What's a grok?
Elon's pet LLM chat bot. The one that he recently tweaked temporarily(?) to spread South African "white genocide" conspiracy theories on Twitter because... well because what else would you expect Elon to spend his time doing?
It also got tweaked to spread Holocaust denial after that.
Oh, I see.
Ugh. Billionaires should get restrictions on the stuff they are allowed to publish
Billionaires should not exist

why should wealth explicitly affect the ruleset by which you play? You are right, it shouldn't. That's why billionaires shouldn't be able to own newspapers.

Well that’s about Trump, not politicians broadly. But if we assume that’s the issue across the board, is the problem that politicians are able to represent us with their words, or that politicians are able to escape consequences for their words?
The core issue is clearly that money can be used to bypass rules.
