Report: Musk's Grok is undressing women & children.

Grok is "removing the clothes & generating sexually suggestive images of children as young as 3."

It is also modifying women’s photos to make them appear crying or badly beaten.

User requests below such photos include “take her dress off” & “spread her legs.”

“Grok is awesome,” said Musk, amidst women speaking of feeling violated.

If many people like a post that disagrees with Elon Musk, then Elon Musk removes those likes slowly over time, thinking that his users will not notice.

Friends do not let friends use the manipulation platform.

Microsoft Hooked the Government on Its Products With Freebies. Could Elon Musk’s Starlink Be Doing the Same?
—

The tech billionaire and Trump adviser “donated” Starlink service to the White House. The move resembles a previous maneuver by Microsoft, which used “free” trials to lock in costly upgrades across the federal government.

@ProPublica There is one other group of "entrepreneurs" whose business model uses the same tactic:

drug dealers.

This man is deeply unwell.

A tweet from Elon Musk (@elonmusk) that reads: **"My companies make great products that people love and I’ve never physically hurt anyone. So why the hate and violence against me? Because I am a deadly threat to the woke mind parasite and the humans it controls."**

@georgetakei Well, his 'gigafactory' in Germany is once again in the headlines for worst working conditions, many illegal in Germany. One of the biggest unions made them public 4 days ago: https://www.tagesschau.de/wirtschaft/unternehmen/tesla-krankmeldungen-gruenheide-100.html

There is talk of a battlefield and human trafficking methods: https://www.focus.de/finanzen/menschenverachtendes-system-tesla-in-gruenheide-keine-lohnfortzahlung-mehr-fuer-laenger-erkrankte-mitarbeiter_id_260760683.html (you can read it with machine translation)

Some great ideas floating around about supporting EU products and services.

Right now it's not feasible to switch 100% over to fully EU made but every little helps!

With all of these US companies supporting actively hostile policies, making the switch now helps everyone and denies them revenue and advertising money.

Some more great ideas here:

Auch Bundesumweltministerium will Plattform X nicht mehr nutzen

Wegen Kritik an der Diskussionskultur und fehlender Moderation will das Umweltministerium die Plattform X vorerst nicht mehr nutzen. Stattdessen soll die Kommunikation über andere soziale Netzwerke laufen.

TIL that on platforms now one can write terrible, offensive slurs against LGBTQIA+ folks and immigrants… with zero repercussions. But the second one mentions a project like , the post is automatically removed.

Meta “moderation” policies in 2025: racism, xenophobia, transphobia, homophobia and sexism are allowed; mention of competition is strictly forbidden.

I’ve been boycotting for well over 10 years now and can confirm that it’s perfectly possible to live a happy life without it. As far as I’m concerned there were always more than enough reasons not to support this exploitative company, but if some folks are deciding that now is when they’ve had enough, then I’m all for it! I must say I had stopped hoping that this might one day become a thing. Gloomy times for sure, but you’ve given me a bit of hope today. Thank you!
