I don't think he's doing it for altruistic reasons. And he bought Twitter for to "restore free speech". Not exactly what's happened there. He's not even remotely trust worthy in the slightest.

Even when accepting your preferred outcome, why should that influence you in this case?

Musk's already got grok, if he wants to promote his own vision of open-ness.

And DeepSeek published enough that others can get to near-SOTA models for far less than OpenAI spent.

The worst things can come from good intentions. Competition is better

If you think Elon is a "good guy" at this point, he's got a bunch of self driving cars to sell you. Full self driving should be ready by next year.

Same way he fights for freedom of speech.

Btw, I have a bridge to sell, interested?

What are his options, really?
