(18,387 posts)Plus, this post had a date of September, 2023 on the top. So even if it were true, it would mean that Bibi was disrespecting Biden, not Trump.

(46,869 posts)Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has sought Elon Musks guidance on the existential threat posed by artificial intelligence, hinting that the tech billionaire is more powerful than the US president. I said to my wife Sara, this guy really knows what hes talking about, I said hes the Edison of our time, Prime Minister Netanyahu said during a discussion with Mr Musk on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Monday. You cant be president of the US last time I checked, but assume you are. The tech billionaire, who is currently the worlds richest person, interjected: Not officially. President Netanyahu responded: Not officially. OK, so youre the unofficial president.
The Israeli leader asked Mr Musk how rogue states could be prevented from developing harmful AI systems, with the Tesla and SpaceX chief saying that the vast amounts of computing hardware needed to build and operate it would be detectable from space. At the very hardest level, the [AI] thats least understandable requires massive amounts of power and a large number of computers and the right software and the right data - its something youd notice, Mr Musk said. Its difficult to hide, sort of similar to uranium, you can sort of detect the uranium radiation.
After Prime Minister Netanyahu said that he had spent most of his adult life trying to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, Mr Musk revealed that the government of Iran had sent him an unexpectedly polite request to shut down SpaceXs Starlink space internet service. SpaceX received permission from the US state department to switch on Starlink for users in Iran last year, despite the economic sanctions, in order to give people unrestricted access to the internet. We got an upset letter from the government of Iran, but actually the letter was so polite, I expected it to be angry or something but it was Charles Dickens-level polite, Mr Musk said. I was expecting to see PS. death to America and Israel or something like that, but they didnt have that.

US President Joe Biden is set to meet Prime Minister Netanyahu in New York on Wednesday amid a period of increased tension between Israel and the Biden administration. This has been driven by disagreements over how to deal with Iran, mass protests in Israeli cities against proposed judicial reforms, and comments from Prime Minister Netanyahyus political allies. President Biden has expressed concern about the controversial reforms, according to National Security Council spokesman John Kirby, while also questioning Israels continued settlement growth in the West Bank. Despite the tension, both leaders are expected to emphasise the strong relationship between the US and Israel.

(18,387 posts)It strongly implies that it's a dig toward Trump, and that Elon will be in charge and not him. In reality, the article has nothing to do with Trump.

(9,638 posts)It would be very easy to believe that Musk in effect is the President-elect.
Celerity
(46,869 posts)when it is Musk being used to troll Biden by Netanyahu. Plus no link was posted in the OP as then people could have seen it is BIDEN that Bibi is denigrating by elevating Musk.
Instead there is confusion and incorrect claims in the thread.
BTW, the link to the actual article is here:

The OP is intestinally misleading. It was from 2023, and Bibi was trolling Biden.

(56,897 posts)Remove the date, publicize the hell out of it, and infer that Netanyahu is talking about Trump.
Then when they come back and say, wait, thats not what he meant, this was taken out of context, just ignore them. Double down like they do. Bibi said it, so there. Republicans take advantage all the time of a lie has made its way around the world before the truth gets out of bed. So give them a taste of their own medicine. When they come back with the real date (which we just omit, dont falsify), and whine that Bibi meant Biden, we just shrug our shoulders, like Fox Noise. But unlike Fox, dont lie, just omit. Let them clean up the mess for once.

(8,300 posts)Considering time has revealed Thomas Alva Edison to be more like an egotistical industrialist whose inventions were largely the product of the team of truly gifted engineers who busted their humps for him while Edison claimed all the praise and credit, sure that fits for Musk.
