"you're holding it the wrong way"
"who needs a stylus?"
"no one's going to buy that [a big phone]"
Unsure how that works when Musk literally said it's false minutes after he saw the post on X
What does that prove?
Are you saying you believe him?
Even with the well documented 30 year history of him lying about things in the tech industry?

Reliable reporting, from descriptions by eyewitnesses, is that SpaceX/xAI showed a prototype of this device to investors prior to its IPO:
Exclusive | SpaceX Showed Investors Prototype of Elon Muskās New AI Device
The sleek, handset-like prototype was designed to integrate AI technology from SpaceXās xAI.

Elon Musk Denies SpaceX Secretly Showed Investors a Slimmer-Than-iPhone AI Device Before Its IPO, Fueling Rampant Speculation
SpaceX's secretive consumer AI device is reportedly powered by a Snapdragon SoC, uses a proprietary OS, and sports a sleek design.

SpaceX reportedly showed investors an AI device prototype, Musk says the report is false
The WSJ says SpaceX showed investors a handset-like AI prototype slimmer than an iPhone. Musk called the report "utterly false" on X.

My my...you seem to be responding to everything I post on here even after saying you're getting bored with me.
Saying "Yeah, @wsj is utter garbage" and "utterly false" against the publication defeats the purpose of attempting to sizzle out OpenAI's IPO by a supposed leaked rumor.
Hope that helps.
your second and third link links back to the WSJ. what was the point in showing 2 more links that just repeats what first link (the one that Elon denies) says?Reliable reporting, from descriptions by eyewitnesses, is that SpaceX/xAI showed a prototype of this device to investors prior to its IPO:

protip: having more websites link back to WSJ doesn't make it true. it's the same ********.
Remember that time WSJ posted Elon was getting fired? Remember how WSJ asked Tesla for comment, to which Tesla replied but WSJ still didn't include Tesla's response which would be a critical failure of basic journalistic integrity? How did that go?

Multiple reports from credible news outlets, pointing to the WSJ article, shows that those websites feel the WSJ article is credible.
Are you claiming that the eyewitnesses at the meeting where this prototype device was reportedly shown, are the ones who are lying? Or that they somehow misunderstood or misinterpreted what they were shown, even though the reporting is that they were specifically told that it was a prototype of a personal AI assistant? Or that Musk is admitting that the supposed prototype is fake, and was simply meant to mess with OpenAI?

Breaking Down Tesla Working With AMD On New AI Chip - Autonomous Driving Love Triangle Has Major Implications

Tesla did not work with AMD and did not have TSMC produce it for HW3. They eventually had Samsung produce it. Tell me again how they're "credible"
TNW doesn't provide any additional sources and qualifies WSJ reports with the phrase "If the report is accurate". They don't claim it is accurate. They just report WSJ is reporting it. So you showing the link doesn't add any more credibility to WSJ
WSJ reported Musk was "under the influence" and that it was a "change" from his usual "volatile behavior" as if he's "slurred his words". They report executives were worried that Musk was on drugs https://www.wsj.com/business/elon-musk-illegal-drugs-e826a9e1
SpaceX decided to post the entire meeting 2 days later showing that Elon was his usual stutter-y performer with zero change. Go look at any previous presentation and you'll see the exact same performance
So whatever "eyewitnesses" WSJ claims were there would be on the same level as claiming SpaceX executives were worried that Elon was on drugs. Practically untrue.

There's a big difference between claims that Musk was slurring his words, but was just his usual self, and claims that a hardware prototype was shown to investors pre-IPO. No amount of misinterpreting or misreporting Musk's demeanor or speech patterns would lead multiple people who were there to also claim they saw an AI assistant hardware prototype displayed or demonstrated.wccftech is a news aggregator . they repeat the news and sometimes react to it, like this:

The claim was a change from his usual self. The exact quote: "The people around Musk long ago became accustomed to his volatile behavior. Some SpaceX executives who had long worked with him, however, noticed A CHANGE"
You also skipped over the fact I mentioned that WSJ reported the Tesla board was looking for a CEO replacement. WSJ asked for comment from the Tesla board, which they responded BEFORE PRINT, yet WSJ refused to print Tesla's response (a complete failure in journalistic integrity). The board completely denied the reporting and, turns out, Elon was never replaced.
2 failures in reporting. Credibility from WSJ has been long gone regarding Elon news.

Iām sorry are those supposed to be as bad as the world's richest man punching all the way down to starving kids in Africa by taking away their food and medical aid? Gleefully terminating Ebola prevention programs? Showing up to boost neo nazi parties in Europe? Releasing an AI tool that easily produces naked pictures of real women and children?
I think those things are worse but do go on to explain because I may have underestimated how many people died as a result of Steve Jobs mocking PDA devices with a stylus.

They did in fact start a headhunting effort to replace Musk. Understandable, really, given his performance.
The fact that the board chair later denied it to the press is not relevant to the veracity of the story.

SpaceX is run by the mindset of a petulant child
It's mind-boggling to me that he has such a cult following. Like, this is your king?

Nice red herring. It doesn't change the FACT that everything there listed has accurate dates and status updates. Facts don't care about your feelings. Look at how much energy you've expended on the forums for this one article simply because someone said they don't want to enrich Elon Musk. It's very odd to have such an emotional connection to such a person simply because you bought a car made by a company he bought (and then pretended to be a founder of). You've posted THIRTY EIGHT TIMES about it (so far) on this one article.
Elon is right, Kristof is an activist disguised as a journalist pushing a lot of misinformation. Suicidal empathy will kill us all, not just poor nations. USAID wasted BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars: a trans opera in Colombia, gender "affirming care" in Guatemala, millions to promote Marxism (aka DEI) in Serbia and Ireland, etc.
Anyone who is concerned about the poor should write to their Congressmen to shut down USAID, and give money to the poor directly or through their favorite church and/or non-profits. USAID is a way for politicians to use tax dollars for their pet projects, and as usual, the gov't pisses most of it away and very little money actually reaches their intended audience, but somehow the politicians' friends and family magically become richer as NGOs thrive while many Americans who fund this crap are barely get by.
Oh, would that be similar to saying āthis is so falseā without providing evidence? Although, disingenuous seems harsher than false ā¦ mmhh
Yet, Cybertruck Dual Motor AWD is sold out until 2027. Hot product.
