No news about Musk and his company's plans to incorporate any sort of cryptocurrenies on his platform lately.
But he will be doing some changes to the platform many are not so happy about:

So whatever happened to adding digital payments aligning cryptocurrency as an option for x payments.
https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/06/elon-musk-rushes-to-debut-x-payments-as-tech-issues-hamper-creator-payouts/

Wouldn't this solve any issues he faces with all this regulatory red tape in each state? The SEC will be in tatters by the end of 2024 anyways by the end of this election year and it will fully back the use of cryptocurrencies or does Elon not believe this to be true?

Anyone who knows anything about chatgpt would understand that it doesn't have anything to do with "intelligence". It's basically fancy text prediction bot that's based on statistical correlations. How do i know this while i don't even code and he does not?
I don't think it's about the AI or anything, it's about the business, he is doing this to take out the competition and he want his own project to be the one injected on their products. That's one way on how to stop something to make a move, a threat. Cheesy

Elon Musk threatens to ban Apple devices from his companies

This is big coming from him. It could make an impact to the market of Apple because I bet most of their equipment are using an Apple brand but it's also going to hit him with his financials if ever he takes this leap. Changing all those equipment because of this will be a lot of money spending.
Again, the power of his words against a big company. This will be a big fight. Grin
His concern is valid and reasonable but will this lead to totally broken business cooperation among Elon's companies and Apple, OpenAI, I suspect it will move to this way.

One way or another, soon they will come to agreement and the possibility is no OS-integration of OpenAI in Apple's iOS and their devices. Musk knows that how big iOS is and he will create massive problems for his companies, staffs and users of Tesla, SpaceX and other companies he owned by doing this serious movement. Dust will settle down like how he withdrawn his lawsuits against OpenAI and their found Sam.
It will. But what else is his option here in case Apple continue to use the said AI? I think he will have a hard time finding an equipment as good as Apple and it will probably just be a waste of resources if he continue to do so. That's an unwise move as a businessman just because of this kind of update.
If Apple will weigh the number of buyers of their product against the whole company of Elon, well I think there's more buyer outside that one company only.
It's his posts that is trying to stain the name of them which I think will hurt them becuase of the number of Elon's followers who might do the same.

-cut-
Is it though? Sounds like he hasn\t watched the keynote video and got already community noted



And these 3 comments under it in a row pretty much summarize his hypocrisy
 


He is just bitter about not being able to take over OpenAI company and put himself as a founder of it. So he is bashing it on any change he gets...

This is a good example tweet on how he doesn't understand what ChatGPT is or how it works:

Elon is a big businessman, businessmen only think about profit. So it's very natural that when he releases news, of course his goal is only to talk about Tesla. The world is paying attention to Elon. Currently, whatever he says will become public material.
Yes profit is key for an owner of a company and in his case companies to survive and prosper.

Also for them to thrive and continue to move mankind forward into the future.
As he sees digital money - cryptocurrency is the way of the future and not the old banking system who uses dirty fiat.
The next slide to the above is him producing a bottle of lighter fluid and a box of matches. Grin

Elon Musk announced Monday that he'll ban Apple devices from his companies' premises if the iPhone creator goes forward with its planned OpenAI integration. Apple held its annual Worldwide Developer's Conference Monday, and the biggest takeaway was OpenAI's ChatGPT will be paired with Siri.

With this banning of guests and even visitors to the factories I believe he is doing it because with compliments of his StarLink satellite systems he could even create his own cellular phones to rival the iphone:

Underestimate- nothing
Elon musk is already known as a public figure whatever he is doing today both on media or TV he has a motion for doing that, he doesn't involved in a business where he won't profit from, he main target could be to sell his product tesla motor and spaceX. I think whenever we are following any information that could be dropped by him we should be very mindful especially cryptocurrency related update because he might dump on a larger scale where little investors could lose heavily.


Elon is a smart man even before he was recognized as the richest no one expected elon for him to start from batteries and now have expanded is business using data. And with the kind of plan elon have in mind he will continue to become rich because he wants to be number one in most of the most important sectors starting from transportation, social media housing and many more. We know that most if is inventions are going to be under a very close observation. Even when he wanted to go into AI I don't know if it was still approved and even if it was approved they won't allow the public to have access to it we all know the dangers people can do with it.  So anything elon does is to make him self remain in business. And if it won't benefit him he won't start it am sure of that.

And in cryptocurrency most influential people want to use the market to their advantages and if it dumps they might buy and when it goes up they will sell. Rich people  are always looking for that single line and they will make use of the opportunity very well. But tesla and space x are all for profit.

It is a business, so if they are not turning a profit year in and year out then those businesses will just shrivel up and die.

Also, Musk does not like the competition either from his most recent move.
On the heels of the main announcement during the WDC Apple conference that the iphone will have Open AI integrated into it, he had an announcement of very own about what he thought about a rival company trying to gain more appeal. Since he has his own AI company named Grok.

Maybe give him a chance because I don't see anyone else doing anything at the moment who has the influential power such as he does at this point in time. He is trying to do good as the post on X would show many who were speculating if he was going setup Tesla in the most populace areas on the globe:

https://www.teslarati.com/elon-musk-drops-biggest-hint-tesla-india

So attempting to get billions of people to drive electrics cars instead of gas guzzlers using fossil fuels is a bad thing?  Undecided

There is also some shareholders of the Tesla stock who are upset about his $50bln payout package recently discovered and what it actually entailed:

I do not trust Elon tbh... he might get more profit with his doge manipulation
Dude, that's the target on why he is boosting it. To make more money. I thought that was pretty obvious. Imagine doing it for no good reason. Just for fun. That will be the stupidest thing that he would do as one of the popular names in the world.

I don't understand Elon Musk's intentions. Are you a person who has everything in life for money? Do you want more money? I don't know, but I think Elon loves him, because I don't see any other way for him to be a person like that. He spoke badly about bitcoin and that condemned the most experts to go against him, and the bitcoin community doesn't accept him very much, almost I don't do it because it seems to me that he is an egocentric person, and he is also a very millionaire person, with many plans and projects even to go to other planets, so what I think he wants is more attention for him, for them to adore him and for them to say which is the best, all that egocentrism, I still remember when he spoke badly about bitcoin and made it drop in price.
He didn't just talk bad, he sold a huge chunk of his investment, that is why.
Regarding his ego, well he is rich, most rich people have lots of that. But I don't think we can go against it because he has the brain, history, and business to back it up. All we could do is criticize him but if you are not a popular person, that won't matter to them.

Attention. He badly needs that. For a business to grow you must always be on the hype. What he is doing is trying to be on top of that hype so that his expensive products can be bought and it will grow more to more expensive items.

I am neutral when it comes to him. I think he is good for the world and yet can cause chaos too if not controlled right.

Funny how you say all this with a Elon Coin as your banner.
So can your views be bias just for the sake of holding a signature to a coin named after the topic we are discussing?
Because to me that is not being truthful to ones self if you are getting blinded by your campaign on the forums.
I was confused with your statement at first until I saw Elon banner at the top of your comment, I guess that must have been a command from above from the Eloncoin or just participant gas lighting just to stay in their spot. But I don't know the motive behind this Elon stuff, don't know how long they want to use another man influence who doesn't give a damn about a project, altcoins has lost its value even more.
Quote
Anyways, there was one thing you said which can be valid. The rich are greedy.
Just look at Warren Buffett for instance.
He has as much money as a man can know what to do with in ones life yet he wants and makes more.
It is a power thing obviously. He can't seem to get enough of it.
To him money is power but for Elon I believe it is the number of companies he owns and relaying he is right to the world. So Twitter was the ultimate prize to him because now he has a platform to do and say whatever he wishes to without anybody else to tell him otherwise.
Just look at what the SEC tried to do to him with their investigations on X.
Of course, nothing will come of it.
Elon is a business man that always stood on business, watching his pattern this year he doesn't seem to be interested in crypto that much, he is more focus on AI than crypto this season and I guess there is more he is seeing than what we are not seeing, opportunist and greedy man!

Elon made everyone to believe in Bitcoin after his stock did 6x and all of a sudden he became a pro Bitcoin and then move to Doge, what a typical man with influence will never do. If the SEC doesn't sue him with all this, then I think man is bigger than America. I have seen people protect him saying all kind of things that he never advice anyone to buy Doge after he bought at the bottom, an ordinary man with influence wouldn't try this and go free.
True and had it not been for this article of ARK invest announcing a stake of $60mln into his startup AI company, I wouldn't have known about it at all.
"xAI is the Musk's latest venture and was launched in March 2023 in a bid against major players in the AI space like OpenAI, Google and Microsoft. "

You will be surprised that it's actually the richest people who are more greedy about money. The more they have the more they want and it's absolutely insane to think about. With Elon's intentions though, it's hard to say because some people see him as someone really smart and calculating however some people see him as attention seeking with no real plans for his life


It's absolutely difficult to understand his intentions are so I just suggest to take everything he says with a grain of salt.

Maybe he just wants to see how impactful his words are. He might be drunk with power and authority.

I think that at this point we are way beyond making money, I feel like Musk doesn't know what else to do in his life to keep bringing attention on him, that's way he tweets all the stupid stuff and sometimes (oftentimes) behaves like a kid. He is extremely egocentric and I bet he is a very difficult person to deal with, no matter if you're his friend or if you work for him.
He has found his calling being a Fighter of Freedoms on the internet as you can see from recent actions contributing funding a lawsuit against Disney with Gina Carano months ago.
https://www.reuters.com/world/us/fired-mandalorian-actor-sues-disney-with-funding-elon-musk-2024-02-06

Now he is having backing from the former creator of his own social platform X.

"The Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey has left the board of Bluesky, the decentralised social network he helped start, and encouraged users to remain on his first site, now owned by Elon Musk and called X."
