I'm curious if you feel the same about re-migration of Belgians from the Congo?

Personally I think it's fine for any country to vote to control immigration as they see fit. I think Japan is a good example of a relatively xenophobic culture that deals with this fairly and thoughtfully.

Can't say I've ever heard anyone implying that colonialists leaving Belgium was unjust. Colonialists is actually not the right word, more like extended occupation, only slightly better than the enslavement of the Leopold II era. The Belgian's were less than 1% of the population and all but an ancillary amount worked in exploiting the native population.

You're right, I don't care and I certainly didn't ask for your political opinion or validation. This is a tech news website, not the place for your false and unrelated political tirades.

Flag those comments. They're very clearly violating the guidelines, which is exactly what the flag button is for.

You can ignore muske politics if you want but what was false about the white supremacism?

Grok did ask its users what it thought about the right wing fever dream of genocide of white people in South Africa so its definitely relevant to one's consideration of the product.

Technology isn't apolitical. You can choose to ignore the politics if it helps you sleep at night, but Elon's got three-letter agencies reaching up his ass like he's a Sesame Street puppet.

Irrelevant. HN is not the place to randomly inject flamewars about politics. It's explicitly against both the purpose and guidelines of HN.

Seems like you need to review the guidelines again, because they're pretty clear:

> Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents. Omit internet tropes.

"randomly inject flamewars about politics"

Basic morality is not "flamewars" or "politics".

I didn't miss anything. The parent that they can choose to ignore it forever, it's a perfectly valid option. It just won't disentangle tech from politics.

The fact that Elon Musk's companies take contracts from the CIA and NRO is not flamebait. It's context that informs how we evaluate future SpaceX ventures.

You’re going to have to keep dealing with it, sorry to say, until you stop engaging with the work of a fascist. We’re not going away, and it’s just going to get worse.

Musk also shut down USAID for absolutely no reason at all which will cause the deaths of hundred of thousands of the poorest people in the world. Not a good look for the richest person in the world. Musk also sounds like a complete moron when he tries to justify why he did it.

You are extremely gullible.

Flamebait I guess but I think it is good we have several options to choose from already. If you don't like Elon there are several other models, and each can pick the one controlled by her favourite supervillain.

This entire post, and any post ever in the future about any Musk product, will forever be flame bait. Don’t like it? Don’t post it.
