    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.

          The Democrats are not a left-wing party, I&#x27;m not sure why you think &quot;the Left&quot; would be in love with him after all the other horrible things he&#x27;s done if he just gave money to a political party that is at best centrist.

          If you want him to get the benefit of the doubt about his &quot;hand gesture&quot; then it would help if he wasn&#x27;t promoting far-right parties all over Europe.

            When you&#x27;ve got the thought police arresting people all over Europe, it&#x27;s not a surprise when freedom-loving folks decide to support the opposition.

            They&#x27;re arresting people for *praying silently in their mind*!!

            The far left is everything they accuse the far right of being.
