Who prevents him from buying an atomic weapon and setting it off for a meme stunt or internet points ?
You have to be joking.
Nearly every military in the world. Countless regulatory agencies. Intelligence agencies the world over. It’s pretty much known that the US made stuxnet to kill one country’s nuclear program. Do you seriously fucking think they wouldn’t stop a single billionaire?
There’s also the fact that even he’s not that insane, and any other billionaire out there who wouldn’t want the effects of a nuke going off to get in the way of their own shit.
If you were talking a dirty bomb, that might be within his reach. Buy some mines in third world countries, mine up some material, strap it to a conventional bomb. That’s also many orders of magnitude less severe (while still horrific). Also, most mining rights in areas with worthwhile radioactive material available have already been bought up by other entities with similar financial levels of backing.
Actual nukes require quite a bit more than just an explosive and some radioactive material to build anyway, and things like nuclear material refinement facilities are quite easily visible from satelite imagery. They also require specialized hardware that is closely monitored. Sure he could pay to reverse engineer and/or get it built. Good luck keeping that secret for as long as it would take.
The man’s a living embodiment of a chode with a diamond studded piercing. There’s plenty of shit to be upset at him about, or worried about, without getting anywhere close to this absurd. I sincerely hope that you weren’t being serious.
If you want shock factor, talk about the slave mines his family wealth comes from, and the slave mines where we source lithium from for EV batteries. Talk about the high frequency of using child soldiers as security for said mines, in addition to the child slave labor.
Talk about the highly likely intentional killing of Twitter by Saudi Arabian government’s investment into Musk as a retaliation for the Arab Spring and as a way to further control rapid information dissemination during crisises.
There’s real reasons to despise him, going for such extremely ridiculous exaggerations only hurts the point you’re trying to make.
I think “Valid” just isn’t the word you’re looking for here. Valid requires verification, and since your point was verifyably false, valid isn’t what you were going for. Scary hypothesis, nightmare fuel, anything where it doesn’t have to actually be possible, to still cause a fear response would be terms that fit better.
It is becoming easier to spot A.I. posters. They’ll have a coherent argument yet will constantly misspell words a person of their supposed intelligence should know. It’ll look and sound about right, but not 100%. I’ve read traffic is about 50% bots, starting to add up
What, why would misspellings make you more likely to assume something is AI generated? They would have to intentionally add misspellings to what the AI wrote. People using AI to post stuff would be doing it to avoid having to make effort. Not going out of their way to put effort into trying to cover up that it was written by AI.
There is a completely different reason why the errors in AI images exist. The types of errors in AI writing would not be misspellings for the same reason that the errors in AI images are not with contiguous areas of the image. The way it’s generated, those types of errors are not going to happen, other types are.
In fact, the cohesive and coherent argument part of it is gonna be the most likely fail of an AI writer.
Are you ok? You’ve doubled down on nonsense. Seriously, take a breath. Look into some treatment for anxiety.
The whole danger is that AI text generation doesn’t misspell, and comes across highly confidently.
There’s actual research out there on spotting AI generated text. Most of it is based off tone, frequency of some specific phrases, and sentence structure.
If you’re mixing this with the idea that spam emails and scamming comments are often misspelled, that’s done in an attempt to avoid word filters, and also to help ensure that people who fall for them are dumb enough not to notice, making them easy marks more likely to overlook other warning signs. If they aren’t trying to get you to take an action, or a coordinated push to manufacture consent, the chance of AI is low.
Also, the statistics about internet traffic you’re thinking about is about bots. That’s largely scripts and web scrapers, less so automated posters making arguments multiple levels down incredibly quiet threads on low user count social media like lemmy.
Your hypothetical is so amazingly absurd that I did not fully believe you were being serious until I saw your response.
I’m still wondering if this isn’t some sort of weird ass false flag attempt to make people who dislike Musk look like absolute raving loonies.
I tried to give you places to begin looking into things yourself so you (and anyone else as delusional as you) wouldn’t be worried about something so unlikely as to be effectively impossible.
I’m not doing that work for you, I’ve already had to sit through countless discussions of this shit in my lifetime. Multiple nuclear engineers in the (extended) family, have met members of the regulatory orgs through them, and that’s what my parents wanted me to grow up to be (I fucked off into computers though).
Beyond that, I tried to give you some stuff against Musk that’s far more rooted in reality than the wildest speculation.
But I really couldn’t give a shit what you talk about. I just dislike seeing people undermining legitimate points by throwing around absurd exageration. Especially when there’s plenty of legitimate criticisms and concerns out there about Musk.
Please, do go on about how he’s going to somehow outsmart intelligence agencies that took out an entire country’s nuclear program with a single goddamn computer virus. At this point it’s just entertaining.

Im making a valid point while you’re trying to tell me what I should be saying instead
Propagandists always try to control the narrative
That’s not how validity works
Oh it’s valid whether you want to believe it or not.
I think “Valid” just isn’t the word you’re looking for here. Valid requires verification, and since your point was verifyably false, valid isn’t what you were going for.

Speculative bullshit.
There have always been a ridiculous number (and variety) of misspellers on the 'net.

Yeah you solved it, no way it would happen, just like errors in AI images

All from the first page of results for laws preventing private ownership of nuclear weapons.
Changed my mind and took 30 seconds to spoonfeed you. Enjoy. I’m blocking your ass as to prevent the hazard to my own mental health.

lol , laws, thatll stop em you stupid motherfucker
“propagandists”? “narrative”!?
Lol they answered your question with the very first sentence! The rest is just expanding on the point…
You are not making a valid argument, as evidenced by your argument being torn to shreds in the comments here.
