The timeline of @elonmusk's AI ambitions is a series of failed attempts to control bleeding edge AI:
- 2015: Co-founds OpenAI as a nonprofit "for humanity." Pledges $1B, gives $38M.
- 2017: Pushes OpenAI to go for-profit — but only if he's CEO. Wants $80B for Mars. When told no, storms out so aggressively Brockman thought he'd be physically hit.
- 2017: While on OpenAI's board, secretly poaches Andrej Karpathy for Tesla. Email to Tesla VP: "The OpenAI guys are gonna want to kill me."
-2018: Can't get control of OpenAI → quits. Starts telling Tesla investors TESLA is the AI company now.
-2019-2025: Promises robotaxis "next year" every single year. 1M robotaxis by 2020. FSD by 2021. Cybercab by 2024. Unsupervised FSD by June 2025. None of it happens.
- 2021-22: Sells $23B+ in Tesla stock to buy Twitter. Tesla stake drops from 23% → 13%.
- 2023: With less Tesla equity, creates xAI — a private AI company he fully controls. Poaches Tesla employees and diverts NVIDIA GPUs meant for Tesla.
- Jan 2024: Delaware court voids his $56B pay package. Musk threatens to build AI OUTSIDE Tesla unless shareholders give him more shares.
- June 2024: Shareholders sue for breach of fiduciary duty. Separately, they re-approve his $56B comp package.
- Sep 2024: Musk says Tesla has "no need to license anything from xAI."
- Jan 2026: xAI tells investors it will build AI for Tesla's Optimus robot. Tesla invests $2B in xAI.
- Feb 2026: SpaceX buys xAI for $250B. Musk admits it "was not built right." ALL 11 co-founders leave. 80+ engineers gone.
- Mar 2026: Tweets "Tesla will make AGI." Announces joint xAI-Tesla project — destroying his own "no need for xAI" defense.
- Apr 2026: SpaceX pays Cursor up to $60B to build a NEW AI model. Why pay $250B for xAI if you need someone else's model?
- Apr 2026: Under oath, admits xAI copied OpenAI's models. Admits no written agreement for his $38M donation. Judge strikes his catchphrase from the record.
- Apr 2026: Admits Tesla has NO plans for AGI. The tweet was 8 weeks old.
- May 2026: Anthropic rents ALL of xAI's Colossus 1 datacenter — 220,000 GPUs. The AI company Musk built is now a supplier for the competition.
I haven't seen anyone tracking all of the alleged (or open) Trump corruption, self-dealing, and quid pro quos in one place. For the last 15 months, I've been tracking every single tip+story I can find and organizing it. Today, I published a 6,000 word piece with every example.
Imagine sexual perverts being allowed to vote on whether or not their sexual perversion is made public while they use your money to quiet the victims.

If Ukrainian soldiers lay down their weapons and go home, there is no Ukraine.
If Russian soldiers lay down their weapons and go home, there is no war.
That's the difference.

@JournoRyan I’ve got a two year old and a two month old but my family has had season tickets since stallings. I’ll be back in ttown before too long. I’d love to buy you a drink and talk about the state of all this. Regardless, enjoy what you’re putting out. Roll tide!
@JournoRyan I have a pr degree from our school and I’ve worked in social media professionally. I bailed to be a stay at home dad because all of it has made me feel horrible. You’ve been someone I looked to as credible
And that isn’t going to change. You do incredible work. I appreciate you.
@JournoRyan If you choose to pay this scumbag to avoid the scammer ads, I get it. But man you’re too good at what you do to have that blue check marring your reputation. I get it. It really do. And respect your decision. You stand as one of my few bastions of credible journalism. Thank you.
@JournoRyan Ryan, I’ve followed you closely since the Brandon Miller mess and I’ve been so incredibly appreciative of the journalistic work you’ve done. I’ve learned more about who you are since following you then and you’ve been a great follow. 1/2
