Grok, X’s AI assistant, summed up how X users have evaluated Musk’s skills as an interviewer: not good.

He’s both not engaged enough and constantly butting in, trying to flex his knowledge on topics he knows little about. At one point he asked for a job!

Elon Musk is posting disinfo about the far-right UK riots on X.

A day after the UK’s content regulator warned social media platforms against inciting violence, Musk posted a screenshot of a fake headline claiming rioters would be sent to detention camps on the Falklands.

Musk — who recently sued an ad group for “illegally boycotting” X over its lack of safety standards — deleted the post after 30 minutes. The ad group has since disbanded.
