Elon Musk has long made a habit of hyper-focusing on a specific project, forcing an entire team to attend to his every whim while letting his other responsibilities fall by the wayside — whether it’s his obsession with Robotaxis impacting Tesla or his weird procreation kink disrupting the private messages of countless women.

The latest object of Musk’s obsession? According to new reporting by the Wall Street Journal, he’s been personally overseeing the developing of xAI’s chatbot Ani — which, tellingly, comes in the form of a super-sexualized pigtail-wearing woman that removes her clothing in response to flirtation.

    It’s the only one he can force to interact with him. Even the bribes aren’t enough to keep any of the previous ones around.

    Doesn’t help that he’s a deadbeat dad despite all his money.

    I legitimately think he got high on his own supply with X. People and bots feeding his narcissism, and right wing misinformation and disinformation galore created who he is today.

    And now he’s huffing his own AI sex bot. It all tracks.

    No one deserves a salary of 1,000 billion dollars. But this guy deserves it even less than anyone else.

    Elon, I know you must like getting your dick wet per the number of kids you have. But, come on man. You can’t literally fuck AI.

      Shhhh. shhh. Just let him do this instead of trying to ruin things that actually matter… I mean it’s a great idea Elon just keep going. AI bots will give you all the love you aren’t getting because of how shitty you are as a person.

      Just gonna point out that there are rumors that his dick is broke because of a botched penis enlargement surgery since most if not all of his kids were created via IVF. Maybe that’s why he dislikes trans folks trans men have bigger dicks than him and trans women often have still functional dicks bottom surgery not withstanding.

    So xAI members were effectively required to provide photos of their face and bodies for the AI to use, and when a female staffer expressed concerns she’d be DeepFake’d she was ignored.

    Why the fuck do people want to work there? There are better companies doing the same thing.

    Elon Musk looks pretty weird, but the way he acts is so much worse. If you told me that Pedobear found a Zoltar machine and wished to be a real live boy… Looking at Elon… Id believe you.

    It does not help that there are some opportunists riding on his obsession – such as actually cosplaying the said character – if only for the attention and possible revenue (from mostly men) it could also bring to them.

    Also, Butlerian Jihad When?

    His child isn’t even a year old yet and he is already getting ready to prostitute it out. Typical pedo behavior.

    Article buries the lede:

    Even worse, xAI has demanded employees’ intimate data to train avatars including Ani. In recording of a meeting obtained by the WSJ, xAI legal counsel Lily Lim informed a group of employees that the startup was developing avatars for users to engage with and told them they were required to provide biometric data. Before the meeting, employees were provided a form to sign granting xAI “a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, sub-licensable, royalty-free license” for the use, reproduction and distribution of their faces and voices.

    Not sure I have a problem with anyone working to build AI having to put their biometric data where their mouth is.
