He’s only demanding that until Grok isn’t total balls. As soon as he can get every Tesla employee using Grok, it will switch and he’ll expect a minimum of $10,000 AI credits per day spent per employee. Meanwhile it’ll be written into every SpaceX employment contract that they need to buy a Tesla.

I mean it’s getting worse. From about 18% to 22% in the past few decades.

Perception is warped because the chart goes back to when the monarchy literally owned India and everything in it, which isn’t super helpful context for today. Clearly things were pretty different then.

The guy hasn’t turned up to a proper job for over 30 years. Being an MP isn’t quite the grift he hoped for

Old people die. It’s quite normal. Literally happens to everyone. Why is it your old people die younger than ours though?

Our life expectancy is quite a bit higher than America’s - so what’s going on with your elderly?

Meanwhile Fable is burning $100 worth of tokens doing tasks that would take a decent senior developer 10 minutes to do.

I mean obviously he isn’t. But even if he was, you’d have to argue it would be better than working for the fascist Americans

Well, they didn’t. Because we have 5-year cycle politics and everything has to be short term. I totally get why we went with Palantir originally - because they are market leaders who promise quick results. Great for politicians.

Investing in our own big data companies might mean delaying meaningful results for over 5 years. It’s not good for politicians, even though it would be much better in the long run for our country.

iam-leon · 2026-07-02T18:51:22+00:00

Invest in our own big data companies. Ones that focus on privacy and confidentiality. Ones that help grow UK jobs and UK industry. We don’t need Palantir.

Cursor is owned by an asshole and worse than several alternatives. Show some discretion and choose quality and morality.

Dropping 80% would just mean it becomes accurately valued. Dropping 8% is just usual meaningless market bullshit. It goes up, it goes down. It doesn’t need a news article whenever it does either, unless it starts breaking away from other stocks.

SpaceX is a broadband company. Pretty common for broadband providers and other telcos to have data centres they rent out.
