    It’s a shame this model has such negative political baggage associated with it. It’s the only one I decided not to run in my LLM benchmarks[1].

      Not sure why you are being downvoted. Until Musk owns up to his Nazi salute, I won&#x27;t have anything to do with Grok, no matter how good or cheap it is. And yes, we need to keep talking about this because it&#x27;s absurd.

        If you watch the actual video, you’ll see Musk saying “my heart goes out to you all” as he waves his arm in the air. The Left would love us to imagine he’s saying “sieg heil” or “exterminate the j3ws” or some such, but that’s far from the truth. The media hoopla around a freeze frame of someone raising their arm is a desperate partisan attempt to smear a political rival.

        If Elon hadn’t worked with Orange Man Bad, then the Left would still be in love with him for his massive former donations to the Democrat political machine, and his work against climate change.

        The whole “he’s a nazi” accusation is banal, and people are seeing through it now. That’s why we’ve moved on.

          People continually fall into the trap of pushing a false narrative because they are so blinded by their own agenda.

          Like the whole pizza parlor pedo basement thing, people will death grip stupid stuff because they are so desperate to manifest the worst possible image of those unaligned with them.

          The problem is that it blows up in their face and just makes them look unreliable, dumb, and lost.

          Musk has done so many objectively bad things that there is no need for people to dilute their reputation on fringe theories and interpretations. Pushing the nazi thing just gives Musk ammo that his detractors are so desperate that they need freeze frames and hidden context to make him look bad.
