Elon Musk Plans to End Prisons by Having His Robots Follow Crooks and Stop Them from ‘Doing Crime’

/1 Comment/in , /by

Tesla CEO and notorious hypemaster Elon Musk has suggested a new use for the company’s Optimus humanoid robots — having them track and surveil former criminals to prevent them from reoffending. Musk plans to end prisons in favor of a “more humane form of containment of future crime.”

Futurism reports that at a recent Tesla shareholder meeting, Elon Musk unveiled his latest unconventional idea: using the company’s Optimus robots to monitor criminals and intervene if they attempt to commit new crimes. Musk framed this as a “more humane form of containment of future crime” compared to the current prison system.

“You don’t have to put people in prisons and stuff,” Musk said. “If somebody’s committed crime, you now get a free Optimus and it’s just gonna follow you around and stop you from doing crime. But other than that you get to do anything. It’s just gonna stop you from committing crime, that’s really it.”

The proposal immediately generated controversy and raised numerous ethical and practical questions. Musk provided few details on how exactly the robots, which are still in early development, would be able to identify and prevent criminal acts. There are also significant concerns around privacy, surveillance, and the societal implications of having for-profit robots integrated into the criminal justice system.

“This shows a complete lack of understanding of criminology, the justice system, and frankly, basic human rights,” said Michael Johnson, a legal expert at the Brookings Institution. “The idea that a robot can somehow rehabilitate offenders better than comprehensive support programs is absurd. It comes across as a dystopian surveillance scheme more than anything else.” (Read more from “Elon Musk Plans to End Prisons by Having His Robots Follow Crooks and Stop Them from ‘Doing Crime’” HERE)

Lawsuit: Tesla Door Handles Trapped 5 People that Died in Fiery EV Crash

/0 Comments/in , /by

The children of Jeffrey and Michelle Bauer have filed a lawsuit against Tesla, accusing Elon Musk’s EV giant of negligence in a fatal car crash that claimed the lives of their parents and three others. The lawsuit claims that multiple people survived the crash, only to be trapped in the burning Tesla by the company’s electronic door handles, which have led to other lawsuits making the same claim.

The New York Post reports that in a tragic incident that occurred in November last year, a Tesla Model S slammed into a tree and burst into flames, resulting in the deaths of all five passengers. Now, the children of two of the victims, Jeffrey Bauer, 54, and Michelle Bauer, 55, have filed a lawsuit against Tesla in Wisconsin state court, alleging that the car’s door design prevented their parents from escaping the burning vehicle.

According to the complaint, the Bauers survived the initial impact but were unable to escape the fire because the doors locked them inside. A nearby homeowner who called 911 reported hearing screams coming from inside the vehicle, while the local sheriff’s office found a cluster of bodies in the front seat, suggesting they may have been struggling to get out.

The lawsuit argues that Tesla’s design choices created a highly foreseeable risk, where occupants who survived a crash could remain trapped inside a burning vehicle. Although the doors can be manually opened from the inside, many owners and passengers are unaware of the location of the manual door release, especially in a crisis situation.

5 Months Later, Elon Wins The War Over NASA

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump announced Tuesday he is nominating Jared Isaacman for NASA administrator after previously withdrawing his nomination.

Trump previously nominated Elon Musk ally Isaacman for the position, but pulled him in May because of “prior associations.” Days later, Musk lashed out at Trump as he exited the administration, which insider sources told the Daily Caller was caused in part by Isaacman’s nomination being yanked. Trump nominated Isaacman again months later, after Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy covered as interim administrator.

“Sean Duffy has done an incredible job as Interim Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). This evening, I am pleased to nominate Jared Isaacman, an accomplished business leader, philanthropist, pilot, and astronaut, as Administrator of NASA,” Trump wrote in a TruthSocial post.

“Jared’s passion for Space, astronaut experience, and dedication to pushing the boundaries of exploration, unlocking the mysteries of the universe, and advancing the new Space economy, make him ideally suited to lead NASA into a bold new Era. Congratulations to Jared, his wife Monica, and their children, Mila and Liv. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” the president added.

Musk Announces Grokipedia to Challenge Wikipedia’s Left-Wing Bias

/0 Comments/in , , /by

In a bold move that challenges the established gatekeepers of online information, tech billionaire Elon Musk has announced the creation of “Grokipedia,” a new encyclopedia project aimed squarely at dethroning Wikipedia. Announced via his social media platform X, this initiative from Musk’s xAI company responds to growing concerns that Wikipedia has been compromised by partisan activists, undermining its mission to provide neutral knowledge. Musk’s plan is to leverage his Grok artificial intelligence to build what he promises will be a more truthful and reliable repository of information for the public.

The announcement follows public criticisms from notable tech figures, including an interview with Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger, who has himself warned about the platform’s descent into bias. Echoing this sentiment, investor David Sacks stated on X that “Wikipedia is hopelessly biased.” Sacks elaborated that “an army of left-wing activists maintain the bios and fight reasonable corrections,” creating a significant problem given the site’s prominence in search results and its use in training other AI models.

For years, Wikipedia has presented itself as a neutral, crowd-sourced project governed by strict policies of verifiability. However, critics argue that its editorial process has been captured by a specific ideological worldview. The site’s immense influence, as the seventh most-visited website globally, means its alleged biases are amplified across the internet and absorbed into other technologies, shaping public perception on a massive scale. . .

The vision for Grokipedia is not merely to replicate Wikipedia but to surpass it through technological superiority. Musk has suggested that Grok can use “heavy amounts of inference compute” to analyze a Wikipedia page and determine what is true, partially true, or false. The AI would then rewrite the page to correct falsehoods and add crucial missing context, a process purportedly free from human political motivations.

However, the project faces skepticism. While the ambition is grand, Grok itself has experienced controversies, including instances where it generated inappropriate responses. Building a system that can reliably discern complex truth from bias is a monumental challenge. Furthermore, winning over the general public from a deeply entrenched and familiar source like Wikipedia will be an uphill battle.

Elon Musk Labels the ADL a ‘Hate Group’ After Turning Point USA Is Named as an Extremist Group

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Elon Musk has branded the Anti-Defamation League, a legal group founded to combat antisemitism, as a “hate group.”

The tech billionaire made the comments on his social media platform X, while also railing against the ADL’s classification of Turning Point USA as extremist.

The ADL was founded in 1913 and, according to its website, aims to “stop the defamation of the Jewish people and to secure justice and fair treatment to all.” . . .

However, on X, Elon Musk claimed that the “ADL hates Christians, therefore it is a hate group.”

His post was in response to a right-wing influencer’s claim that the ADL “considers Christianity a hateful terrorist extremist belief.”

Elon Musk’s Neuralink Filed as ‘Disadvantaged Business’ before Being Valued at $9 Billion

/2 Comments/in , /by

Elon Musk’s health tech company Neuralink labeled itself a “small disadvantaged business” in a federal filing with the U.S. Small Business Administration, shortly before a financing round valued the company at $9 billion.

Neuralink is developing a brain-computer interface (BCI) system, with an initial aim to help people with severe paralysis regain some independence. BCI technology broadly can translate a person’s brain signals into commands that allow them to manipulate external technologies just by thinking.

Neuralink’s filing, dated April 24, would have reached the SBA at a time when Musk was leading the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency. At DOGE, Musk worked to slash the size of federal agencies.

MuskWatch first reported on the details of Neuralink’s April filing.

According to the SBA’s website, a designation of SDB means a company is at least 51% owned and controlled by one or more “disadvantaged” persons who must be “socially disadvantaged and economically disadvantaged.” An SDB designation can also help a business “gain preferential access to federal procurement opportunities,” the SBA website says.

Musk Blasts Trump over Epstein Files and Points Out Massive Flaw with His Defensive Post

/0 Comments/in , /by

[Elon Musk hammered President Trump again this past weekend. He posted on X,] “This is a very big deal. What the hell kind of system are we living in if thousands of kids were abused, the government has videos of the abusers and yet none of the abusers are even facing charges!?” Musk claimed.

[He responded to President Trump’s Truth Social post, asking everyone to move on and quit talking about Epstein, by stating,] “He said ‘Epstein’ half a dozen times while telling everyone to stop talking about Epstein. Just release the files as promised.”

. . .Musk previously slammed the DOJ by mocking its ruling. He also reposted a meme with a clown which says “there is no Epstein list,” adding an angry emoji.

When a user doubted whether there was any evidence of the client list or “it would be plastered all over everything,” Musk made a bombastic claim about a possible cover-up.

“Unless both sides were guilty,” Musk wrote. The Irish Star has contacted the Trump administration for comment. (Read more from “Musk Blasts Trump over Epstein Files and Points Out Massive Flaw with His Defensive Post” HERE)

Whoa: Elon Musk Says This Trump Pal Is in the Epstein Files

/2 Comments/in , , /by

Elon Musk is taking another HUGE shot across the bow.

Of course, the Tesla mogul has been all over his former (?!) friend Donald Trump regarding the president’s purported appearance in the infamous Jeffrey Epstein files. Elon went after the POTUS last month by sending a since-deleted post on X (Twitter) accusing Trump of showing up in the unsettling files — implying he was part of the teen sex-trafficking ring! He said THAT was “the real reason they have not been made public.” . . .

The Trump-led FBI claimed that no, they actually have zero Epstein client info. None at all. Nope. No client list, not a single shred of evidence against anyone. Please change the subject and look the other way, thanks!

On Tuesday, Elon returned to X to name-and-shame… Steve Bannon.

Replying to a post from another infamous former Trump adviser, Roger Stone, who pointed out how Bannon had coached Epstein on how to appear “sympathetic” on TV. Musk responded simply:

“Bannon is in the Epstein files.”

Elon Musk’s AI Chatbot Grok Blames Donald Trump for Texas Flood Deaths

/0 Comments/in , /by

Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok is joining woke idiots like Rosie O’Donnell in blaming President Donald Trump for deaths resulting from the horrific flooding in central Texas during Independence Day weekend. After receiving pushback, the AI chatbot ultimately conceded to X users by changing its claim from “directly” to “likely,” and promising to “aim for more nuance.”

During the early hours of Friday, a flash flood ravaged Kerr County, Texas causing widespread damage and road washouts, as well as the deaths of nearly 70 people. The search for 11 missing girls and others continues.

Elon Musk’s AI chatbot, Grok, was quick to blame the tragedy on Donald Trump.

“Grok is woke and full of shit. What the fuck is happening to X?” popular X influencer Catturd wrote, sharing a screenshot of a post in which the AI chatbot claimed cuts to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and National Weather Service (NWS) resulted in deaths.

“Trump’s 2025 cuts slashed NOAA/NWS funding by [approximately] 30% and staff by 17%, impairing forecast accuracy,” Grok claims, adding, “Warnings underestimated rainfall, contributing to inadequate alerts for the flash floods that killed 24 and left [approximately] 24 Camp Mystic girls missing, presumed dead in ongoing searches.” (Read more from “Elon Musk’s AI Chatbot Grok Blames Donald Trump for Texas Flood Deaths” HERE)

House Moves to Codify DOGE Cuts After Two GOP Reps Flip Their Votes

/0 Comments/in /by

Elon Musk should be happy now: the House voted to push through his DOGE cuts. The Tesla CEO got into a very public spat with President Donald Trump, even going so far as to pretty much accuse the president of being a pedophile, suggesting baselessly that the slow-walking of the Epstein Files was because Trump was on them. Everything cooled down in 36 hours, Elon deleted tweets about Trump and Epstein, and the pair did have a phone call and made peace. Musk admitted his tweets went too far.

Mr. Musk has opposed the budget reconciliation package for numerous reasons. His DOGE cuts were not included because they can’t be since this isn’t an appropriations bill. Now, they can be through a recissions package, which passed after two Republicans flipped their votes (via WSJ):

House Republicans narrowly passed a $9.4 billion rescissions package that includes cuts to foreign aid as well as the entity that funds National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service.

The vote was 214-212, after some last-minute arm twisting by GOP leaders convinced two Republicans—Reps. Nick LaLota of New York and Don Bacon of Nebraska—to switch their votes to yes from no.
