Musk has adjusted Grok’s algorithm so it’s now a neo-Nazi.
Pretty cool that almost every progressive commentator, elected official and organization still uses Musk’s X algorithm to communicate with the public! Good job guys.

Appeasement of the rich facilitates corruption, illicit financial flows.
Compare this to how govts treat the poor. Soon their bank accounts will be snooped on.

I’m not so much angry, or surprised, just disappointed. The 60’s have been over for a long time and the class system reasserts itself.
Congratulations to BRIT winners Charli XCX (Bishop's Stortford College, £38,319 per year), AG Cook (King Alfred School, £27,747) and The Last Dinner Party (Bedales, £52,075) for showing that people from ordinary backgrounds can reach the top in pop music, that most egalitarian of art forms.
