@BarackObama I am tired of your party inciting political violence, and then doing nothing about it. Please go away.

Grok thinks this clip is AI generated.

“Yes, it is not only possible but highly likely that this specific ~47-second video clip of Elon Musk is AI-generated.
Here’s the evidence from direct analysis of the clip itself (via its X-hosted video file) and broader searches:
• Visual and audio inspection of the frames: The footage shows Elon seated in a white armchair on stage next to a gray-haired man in a polka-dot tie, with water bottles on a table and audience heads visible in the foreground. He gestures naturally while speaking, with consistent lighting, skin texture, eye movements, and background details across interleaved frames. Lip sync aligns well with the spoken words (no obvious desync or jitter). Subtitles confirm the exact quote in the post: he describes generative adversarial networks where one AI generates fake video and the other spots flaws, iterating “back and forth to the point where you couldn’t tell which one was the real video and which one was the fake one.” On the surface, it looks like authentic panel footage from ~2017–2019 (based on Elon’s appearance and the era when GANs were a hot topic).
• No original source exists anywhere: Despite targeted searches for the exact quote, the full dialogue, the panel setup (gray-haired interviewer in polka-dot tie, audience foreground, specific phrasing about video simulation), and cross-references to known Elon talks on GANs/deepfakes (YouTube transcripts, interviews, SXSW/Code Conference-style panels from 2017–2020), nothing matches. The clip and this precise wording do not appear in any public archive, video, or transcript predating today’s post (April 25, 2026). If this were real archival footage from a real event, it would have surfaced in prior discussions of Elon on AI-generated media.
• Context of the post: The account @r0ck3t23 posted it today with heavy dramatic narration overlay (the long caption about “the end of evidence” and “shared reality”). One reply in the thread already flags the post’s writing style as classic AI-generated prose. The clip perfectly dramatizes the poster’s thesis—ironic, given the topic.
In 2026, AI video generation (successors to GANs, using models trained on massive Elon datasets) can produce exactly this: photorealistic, 47-second clips with natural gestures, synced audio, and staged panel settings that fool the eye. Deepfake detection is harder than ever for short, well-crafted clips like this, especially when they don’t reuse existing footage but synthesize it from scratch.
Bottom line: This isn’t an old real clip repurposed—it’s almost certainly a synthetic one created to make the point about synthetic media. The irony is intentional (or at least poetic). If a full original interview surfaces later, that would change things, but right now all signs point to AI. This is exactly the future the clip warns about.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

You seem to be missing one of the main points of His coming: To do a “new thing.” Reference: new covenant, new wine skins, new commandments, new heaven & earth… and lastly, “Behold, I am making all things new”.

Is it possible that you are straining the gnats and missing the camel as Jesus provoked the Pharisees in Mat. 23:24.?

It’s hard to get actual numbers. Is the admin hiding there track record. According to Grok:

### Conclusion

As of the latest available data (January 2025), 37,660 people were deported in Trump’s first month, compared to a monthly average of 57,000 under Biden in 2024. This gap likely fuels the dissatisfaction expressed in the X thread, where users feel the numbers are far too low to meet expectations or match the scale of arrivals under the previous administration. Logistical, judicial, and enforcement focus issues, combined with a massive court backlog, are likely contributing to the slower pace. Without more current data for April 2025, we can infer that these trends and frustrations persist based on the thread’s sentiment.

How could numbers from Biden admin be better?

Why aren’t Tesla owners turning on Sentry Mode’s. An alarm is activated on a Tesla and the horn honks. When Sentry Mode detects a significant threat—such as someone leaning on the car, attempting to break in, or making physical contact—it triggers the full alarm sequence. This includes flashing the headlights, sounding the horn, and, if configured, playing loud music through the external pedestrian speaker (on models equipped with it, like newer Model 3s and Model Ys). The alarm is designed to draw attention and deter potential intruders, and the horn is a key part of that response.

While we have the House, Senate, and the Presidency we would be stupid if we didn't pass secure election laws.

@sater_terry @brithume Well said Terry, Thank you for sharing.

I am a combat veteran of Vietnam. America’s combat role in Vietnam stretched across eight grueling years, from 1965 to 1973, exacting a staggering toll: $850 billion to $1.3 trillion in today’s dollars and over 58,000 American lives lost, alongside countless Vietnamese casualties. The Iraq War, spanning roughly seven and a half years from 2003 to 2010, dwarfed that financial cost at $2 trillion to $4 trillion, claiming thousands of American lives and plunging the region into chaos that birthed ISIS. Afghanistan, the longest of the trio, dragged on for thirteen years until 2014, bleeding the U.S. treasury of $2.3 trillion to $5 trillion while leaving behind a fragile state that collapsed to the Taliban in 2021. Each conflict began with a burst of zeal; Vietnam to halt communism, Iraq to topple Saddam, Afghanistan to crush al-Qaeda, yet each devolved into a quagmire, squandering lives and national treasure on elusive victories.

Now, three years into Russia’s war on Ukraine, the U.S. has poured between $136 billion and $195 billion into the fray, a figure dwarfed by past wars but still astronomical for a conflict where no American boots officially touch the ground. President Zelenskyy claims only half has reached Ukraine’s hands, with the rest tangled in U.S. military budgets, European basing, or bureaucratic limbo—a stark reminder of how inefficiency haunts even proxy wars. Like their predecessors, these efforts kicked off with bold promises: thwart Russian aggression, bolster democracy. Yet, the echoes of Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan ring loud; enthusiasm curdles into fatigue, costs spiral, and clarity of purpose fades. Are we again chasing ghosts, propping up a nation while ignoring the lessons of history?

The Weinberger and Powell Doctrines—clear objectives, overwhelming force, and a defined exit, were forged to prevent such debacles, yet America has abandoned them time and again. Vietnam’s nation-building floundered amid corruption and insurgency; Iraq’s democracy experiment unleashed sectarian strife; Afghanistan’s 20-year edifice crumbled in weeks.

In each, we clung to vague goals—containment, liberation, stabilization—while neglecting the hard truth: imposing order on fractured societies is a fool’s errand. Ukraine now teeters on the same precipice. We arm it to fight, but where’s the endgame? A negotiated peace remains distant, and the specter of escalation looms. Critics pillory President Trump for seeking détente with Russia to avert World War III, yet his push for peace, however messy, grapples with a reality we’ve dodged since WWII: endless war serves no one.

Are we doomed to repeat this cycle? The consensus on Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan is damning: strategies were flawed, from micromanaged escalation in Hanoi to half-baked surges in Baghdad and Kabul. We fought without ruthless clarity and lingered without resolve, bleeding resources while enemies adapted.

Ukraine’s war, though not ours directly, mirrors these sins—billions flow with no decisive victory in sight, and domestic fatigue grows. Trump’s detractors call him reckless, but the recklessness lies in ignoring history’s brutal verdict: wars without discipline, without a finish line, don’t just waste money and lives—they erode a nation’s soul. If we don’t rethink our approach—embracing restraint over reflex, peace over pride—we’ll keep writing trillion-dollar epitaphs for conflicts we never truly win.

What IS the goal of aiding Ukraine? Is it to push Russia out of every inch of land that Ukraine calls their own? Is it to defeat Russia and split it up, as someone in the E.U. said? Is it to let Russia have small areas of Russian speaking Ukrainian territory? There IS NO consensus. Joe Biden said we will support Ukraine for "as long as it takes, for as much as it takes!" Does that mean we are resolved to fund Zelenskyy for ten more years, and $5 Trillion? Are we committing to go to WWIII if necessary? It is wayyyy past the time to decide.
