"Musk's facade is crumbling before us. Just a few years ago, he was the golden
boy of capitalism, a visionary engineer, a revolutionary business leader and a
saviour of the environment. He had built the perfect mythology around him and
was reaping the rewards. But all of that has now gone. The public's perception
of Musk has shifted to that of an anti-democratic, free-speech hypocrite,
misinformation-spouting, racist, misogynistic, union-busting, bullshit-spewing,
midlife crisis-riddled, egotistical, petty, damagingly profiteering, idiotic
businessman that only got to where he is through aggressive takeovers and
manipulation. But who also, crucially, doesn't seem to understand the
technology his companies are based on at all. This fall from grace is worth
studying, but is far beyond the scope of this article. Instead, I want to focus
on Musk's approach to one specific technology, AI, as it epitomises Musk's
complete lack of understanding and awareness. You see, from Tesla's FSD to X's
new Grok AI image generator, Musk seems to not only fail to understand what AI
actually is but also fail to recognise its glaring limitations.

Let's start with said Grok AI image generator."
