Imagine a room full of investors with their mouths zipped tighter than a jar of pickles—sounds familiar, right? That’s the current vibe around Elon Musk’s splashy AI venture, xAI, as the company’s boldly chaotic project Grok faces a whirlwind of criticism for its infamous collection of non-consensual deepfakes.
In a world where tech giants are usually as chatty as gossiping grandmas at a bingo game, the silence from marquee investors is deafening. The Atlantic poked around, hoping to unearth some investor insights or at least a hint of regret, but all they found were crickets chirping in empty wallets.
Even the likes of Nvidia, Google, and Oracle, who usually can’t wait to jump in front of a camera at the slightest hint of a press release, are suddenly on a digital vacation. While Grok raises eyebrows and ire worldwide, slowing down regulations and investigations feels about as fast as watching molasses pour on a cold day.
So, what does this all mean? Is it a giant red flag for xAI, or just another day in Musk’s world of chaos and controversy? The plot thickens, and the stakes get higher, as Grok continues to push the envelope (and, let’s be frank, decency) in spectacular fashion.
Maybe the investors are taking a cue from xAI’s motto: ‘If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.’ Or perhaps they’re just waiting for the hype train to derail completely before they jump on board. Stay tuned, folks—this drama is just getting started!
