Also because Indians take the bait. Always. Makes for good engagement. Someone wrote a thread objecting to the Chinese flag in SF and barely any Chinese responded. Top replies were the usual techbros and Indians. Russians, Chinese - they get attacked but donât react. Perhaps

To my knowledge, the entire chain of xAI supervisors all the way to the top (from when I was there) are now gone. I don't know if that's normal turnover for an Elon company but it seems like a lot. Grok's quick check of all public xAI departures recently (there's probably
