alt Hacker NewsIn order to be incredulous at xAI, you'd have to be incredulous of the AI business in general, which is fair.
But then you'd also be basically betting against the entire tech sector, and really the entire US economy and against the value add of AI. That kind of bet is much more difficult to swallow.

xAI's value is irrelevant here. This is about Elon throwing his weight around and rigging the game to create an artificial squeeze so him and his early investors can make bank by transferring wealth from everyone's retirement fund.
The company is irrelevant. The focus should be on the money making scheme

Hasn't the surprising lack of value add been discussed with increasing frequency?
That's not true at all.
I am confident some companies will make bank with AI. I am also confident xAI is not one of those.
It's as if you said "if you don't think Lycos is a good business you don't think search engines can work in general".
